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 Erie Volunteer Science Network: Building Trust in Citizen Science Programs
Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question.

Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.

In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, a data buoy collects valuable water quality, weather, and wave data that inform residents and regulatory groups of conditions on the water. 
 
Since 2011, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated the Dunkirk buoy with funding from the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit.

Lightweight and easy to use, the SonTek CastAway offers a convenient 3-in-1 solution for measuring conductivity, temperature, and depth profiles. At a 5 Hz sampling rate, the CastAway is designed for up to 1 m/s free-fall through the water column. 
 
 With fast response and accurate conductivity, temperature, and depth measurements, the CastAway is ideal for thermocline and halocline profiling. The unit also reports salinity and speed of sound.
