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).

Climate Change and Microplastics: Monitoring Lake Champlain
Most people go to Lake Champlain for its exceptional views and thrilling boating, but it’s also home to a wide variety of interesting aquatic research projects. From studying microplastics to thermal dynamics of the lake, Timothy Mihuc, director of the Lake Champlain Research Institute (LCRI) at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh (SUNY Plattsburgh), has spent his career studying aquatic ecosystems. 
 
 As an aquatic biologist, he’s the main investigator on Lake Champlain’s research studies while also managing their grants, employees, and their hands-on buoy work. 
 
 Over the years, LCRI has received a number of environmental grants that aid in its monitoring research.

On March 26th, according to The Baltimore Sun , a 984-foot, 112,000-ton Dali lost propulsion and collided with a support column of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, collapsing the structure. Soon after the event, search and rescue, salvage crews, and other emergency responders were mobilized after the collision. 
 
As salvage efforts progressed in early April, NOAA’s Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) responded to a request for real-time tidal currents data and deployed a current monitoring buoy—CURBY (Currents Real-time BuoY)—into the Patapsco River north of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
Read MoreSoundscapes of the Solar Eclipse: Citizen Science Supporting National Research
On April 8, 2024, millions of people around the world had their eyes glued to the sky to witness a historic cosmic event. The total solar eclipse captured the headlines and the minds of many who became eager to gaze at the heavens as the sky went dark for a few minutes. However, not everyone used their sense of sight during the eclipse, some were listening to the sounds of the natural world around them as the light faded from above. 
 
 The Eclipse Soundscape Project is a NASA-funded citizen science project that focuses on studying how the annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023, and the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse impacted life on Earth. 
 
 The project revisits an initiative from the 1930s that showed animals and insects are affected by solar eclipses.
