TN500 Portable White Light Turbidity Meter with Data Logger, EPA Compliant
Cat. No.
TN500
Product Description
Apera TN500 uses a tungsten filament lamp as the light source and 90° scattering method, which is compliant with the U.S EPA 180.1 method for the determination of turbidity in drinking, ground, surface, and saline waters, domestic and industrial wastes. The instrument is designed for water quality professionals, offering long-term reliability in high-accuracy turbidity measurement with an intuitive operation system, simple calibration, and GLP data management.
Product Specifications

Premium-quality tungsten filament lamp light source
Compliant with the U.S EPA 180.1 method for the determination of turbidity in drinking, ground, surface, and saline waters, domestic and industrial wastes. The lamp is replaceable.

TruRead™ measurement mode
Automatically takes multiple consecutive readings, and calculate the average, minimum and maximum value, as well as displaying each set of data in a brief test report. TruRead is a much better way to determine the true turbidity of your samples, rather than relying on just one reading. It's especially suitable for sample solutions with rapid settling and continuous measurement changes.

EPA approved AMCO® standards
The kit comes with AMCO® high-molecular polymer turbidity standard solutions (0, 20, 100, 400, 800 NTU), which are EPA approved primary standards that are safe, non-toxic and disposable, and have a guaranteed one-year shelf life. It is NIST traceable to particle size/distribution and optical density, and its inherent stability means it does not settle from suspension. Store the standards at room temperature. They must not be frozen.

Intuitive Operation System
The meter is equipped with a large TFT color screen with plain language and graphic navigation, supporting English, Spanish, and Chinese. Intelligent functions such as automatic calibration, real-time clock display, calibration date check, auto. power off, and low battery reminder are built-in to ensure ease of use.

GLP Data Management
200 sets of data storage with USB data output to PC (Windows-based only)

Zero turbidity error reminder
The zero-point calibration and zero-point error reminder functions ensure the high accuracy for low-turbidity (<1 NTU) sample testing

Rechargeable battery
3.7V rechargeable lithium battery can supply power for over 20 hours of continuous measurement. The battery life is 5 times longer compared with other products in the market.
