Bench Laboratory Laser Turbidimeter with RFID
The Hach TU5200 is a benchtop laboratory laser turbidimeter from the TU5 Series®, designed for highly accurate turbidity measurement in drinking water, wastewater, ultrapure water, groundwater, membrane filtration systems, and laboratory QA/QC applications. It incorporates RFID technology and Hach's patented 360° x 90° Detection™ Technology for improved measurement accuracy and consistency.
Key Features
1. 360° × 90° Detection™ Technology
- Patented optical design that observes more of the sample than conventional turbidimeters.
- Provides superior low-level turbidity precision and sensitivity.
- Minimizes variability between operators and measurements.
- Eliminates the need for sample vial indexing and silicone oil application.
2. RFID Technology
- RFID-enabled sample tracking and identification.
- Stores and transfers sample information between compatible instruments.
- Improves data integrity and traceability.
3. Consistent Lab and Online Measurements
- Uses the same 360° × 90° Detection Technology as Hach online turbidity analyzers.
- Enables better correlation between laboratory and process measurements.
4. Faster Analysis
- No vial indexing required.
- No silicone oil required.
- Sealed calibration vials simplify calibration.
- Reduced maintenance and cleaning requirements.
5. Touchscreen Interface
- 7-inch WVGA color touchscreen.
- Intuitive user interface for laboratory operation.
