Overview
The Hach TL23 Series laboratory turbidimeters blend trusted technology of the 2100N/AN and improved features to simplify testing in the most demanding industrial and wastewater applications. With their ratio technology, the TL23 lab turbidimeters are ideal for industrial and other samples with a wide range of turbidity. The TL23’s ratio technology helps to overcome the interference from large particles and color when measuring turbidity.
Four Types of Models
- TL2300 (EPA, up to 4,000 NTU)
- TL2310 (ISO, up to 1,000 NTU)
- TL2350 (EPA, up to 10,000 NTU)
- TL2360 (ISO, up to 10,000 NTU)
TL2300 and TL2350 Turbidimeters
The optical system is comprised of a tungsten-filament lamp, lenses and apertures to focus the light, a 90° detector, a forward-scatter light detector, a backscatter detector (TL2350 only) and a transmitted-light detector. The instrument permits turbidity measurements at less than 40 NTU to be performed using only the 90° scattered-light detector or from 4000 NTU (TL2300) to 10000 NTU (TL2350) using the complete set of detectors (Ratio Measurement). With the Ratio Measurement on, the instrument’s microprocessor uses a mathematical calculation to ratio signals from each detector.
TL2310 Turbidimeter
The optical system includes an 860 ±30 nm light emitting diode (LED) assembly and a 90° detector to monitor scattered light. The instrument measures turbidity up to 1000 FNU or NTU using the single 90° detector. The instrument does not utilize ratio measurements.
TL2360 Turbidimeter
The optical system includes an 860 ±30 nm light emitting diode (LED) assembly and a 90° detector to monitor scattered light, a forward-scatter light detector, a transmitted-light detector and a back-scatter light detector. The instrument measures turbidity up to 1000 units in FNU measurement mode using the ratio detectors. Attenuation measurements of up to 10000 FAU units can be made using a single transmitted detector. The instrument measures turbidity at less than 1000 NTU using only the 90° scattered-light detector or up to 10000 NTU using the complete set of detectors (ratio mode).

Carbon and Nutrient Monitoring in the Great Lakes Using Satellite Observations
Carbon and nutrients are the foundation of lake food webs and play an important role in the chemical and physical processes that shape aquatic ecosystems and various lake dynamics. Studying these cornerstones can help improve understanding of other lake conditions like harmful algal blooms, hypoxia, and phytoplankton community composition. 
 
The way in which these characteristics are monitored varies, though many rely on a proxy approach wherein parameters are extrapolated from the measurement of a different parameter. An assistant professor at Cleveland State University, Brice Grunert, is working to improve current strategies and take a satellite approach to monitoring the Great Lakes.

North Texas is one of the fastest-growing regions in the state, an area that is expected to face increasing water needs. In order to meet these demands, the Upper Trinity Regional Water District ( UTRWD ) is building Lake Ralph Hall near Ladonia in southeast Fannin County, Texas. 
 
The lake has been in the works since 2003, with construction finally beginning in 2021. The population of the UTRWD is expected to grow 5-fold over the next 50 years, leading to increased water use. 
 
Ed Motley, Program Manager with the UTRWD stresses that even with conservation and reuse, new sources like Lake Ralph Hall are essential to meeting near-term and long-term water needs to support regional growth.
Read MoreScience for Science’s Sake: Monitoring Ocean Energy Availability and Gulf Stream Dynamics
Scientific research often begins with a question, sometimes driven by a specific goal or application, but many scientists believe in science for science’s sake. Marine environments and physical dynamics like the Gulf Stream are popular fields of research due to their complexity and importance, presenting a unique opportunity to learn more about previously unexplored phenomena. 
 
Environmental researchers, in particular, see the value in these ecosystems, but many also grew up with a passion for the natural world, and choosing a field that allows them to interact with and learn about the environment around us is an easy choice.
