TriOS NICO plus UV Nitrate Sensor
Features
- Internal compensation for temperature, turbidity, and organic substances
- RS-485 Modbus RTU output for integration with data collection platforms
- Optional W55 V2 wiper cleans optics & reduces maintenance intervals
- Expedited repair and warranty service
- Lifetime technical support
- More
The new TriOS NICO plus not only offers the parameters NO3-N, NO3, NOx-N and NOx previously known from NICO, but has now been expanded to include numerous additional parameters. These include UVT254, UVT254n, SAK254, CSBeq, BSBeq, TOCeq, DOCeq, turbidity and TSSeq.
An internal temperature correction additionally increases the stability of the measured values. Equipped with the innovative G2 interface with web browser configuration and internal data logger, NICO plus has features that are significantly above the currently available devices on the market, in combination with an attractive price.
The sensor can be easily integrated into existing process control systems and external data loggers using the native RS-485 Modbus RTU output, and the optional W55 V2 wiper reduces maintenance intervals by cleaning the optics before each measurement.

Bringing Fish Back: Reviving Britain’s Freshwater Habitats with the Wild Trout Trust
Freshwater covers less than 1% of the Earth’s surface but has an outsized impact on global ecosystems, supporting more than 10% of all known species, reports the World Wildlife Fund . Freshwater environments such as rivers and wetlands provide significant scientific, economic, and cultural value. But pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and a lack of prioritization in environmental policies mean freshwater habitats are recognized as one of the most threatened in the world–something scientists have dubbed an “invisible tragedy. ” [caption id="attachment_39210" align="alignnone" width="940"] Remedial works underway to shore up the banks of the River Ecclesbourne.

Monitoring and Facilitating Habitat Restoration Efforts in the Great Lakes
While human infrastructure, urbanization, and industrialization have advanced human societies, the natural environment has suffered due to constructed impediments and deteriorating architecture. In order to combat this degradation, habitat restoration programs across the US work to remove impairments and improve damaged waterways. [caption id="attachment_39162" align="aligncenter" width="940"] Barge electrofishing by state and federal employees prior to habitat restoration on Wiscoy Creek which is a tributary to the Genesee River.

Sustainable Fishing in Alaska: Protecting the Salmon Capital of the World through Research
In the far north, the Alaska Peninsula stretches away from the Last Frontier into the Pacific Ocean. A narrow strip of land dotted with freshwater lakes and intruded upon by ocean inlets–this unique region is intimately connected with the surrounding water. Nestled halfway down the peninsula's southern coast are the small villages of Chignik. The area has historically been home to the Aleut people and has been heavily reliant on fishing for centuries. Home to commercial and subsistence fishing today, Chignik continues to rely upon the salmon returns to the surrounding villages, which are supported by scientists working tirelessly to understand and steward these fish populations.
