The Apera Instruments TN480 Infrared Turbidimeter delivers fast, accurate, and reliable turbidity measurements for liquids using a nephelometric 90° scattering method. Equipped with an infrared LED (860 ± 30 nm), it complies with ISO 7027 and DIN EN 27027 standards for precise determination of turbidity in aqueous solutions.
The TruRead™ measurement mode is ideal for rapidly settling samples or fluctuating measurements, ensuring stable and repeatable results. The TN480 features GLP data management with a memory capacity of 200 data sets, which can be exported via USB to a PC for real-time monitoring and analysis.
A large TFT color screen with intuitive on-screen guidance enhances usability, while the IP67 waterproof housing makes it suitable for both laboratory and field applications such as drinking water analysis and environmental monitoring.
