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).

Lake Malawi: A Treasure to Protect
Lake Malawi (also known as Lake Nyasa and Lake Niassa) doubles as a Rift Valley Lake and one of the seven African Great Lakes. Due to its unique biodiversity, it’s a great place to conduct limnological studies. Harvey Bootsma is a professor for the School of Freshwater Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and has had an interest in limnology ever since he was a kid. Bootsma fondly recalls summer vacations to Georgian Bay, Ontario, “I probably spent as much time in the water as I did out of it.” He continues, "I remember telling myself, ‘I’m going to get a job where I can stay here all the time.’” While Harvey didn’t end up working on Georgian Bay, he was offered a job working on Lake Malawi. He continued working there while completing his Ph.D.

Aquatic ecosystems are incredibly complex, with many different biotic and abiotic factors constantly interacting. Microbial communities are a key part of aquatic ecosystems, involved in the constant flow of energy and recycling of organic matter, according to Science Direct . The true scope of microbial community impacts on aquatic ecosystems is still not entirely understood. Eric Benbow, a professor of community ecology at Michigan State University, is exploring how microbial communities and pathogens may be negatively impacting human health, and how a changing climate could worsen this problem. 
 How Do Pathogens Arise? 
 Benbow, along with his students and colleagues, are studying a realm of community ecology that is still relatively unknown.
