Abstract

A turbidity sensor has a housing, a cuvette for a sample medium, a lighting source, a light sensor, a drying agent and a chamber system. The chamber system includes a central receiving space in which the cuvette is arranged, a lighting chamber adjoined by the lighting source, at least one sensor chamber adjoined by the light sensor, and a drying chamber in which the drying agent is arranged. The lighting chamber, the at least one sensor chamber and the drying chamber are each fluidically connected to the central receiving space. The chamber system is here configured as a passive, pump-free system.
