Trilogy® Laboratory Fluorometer
The Trilogy® offers flexibility to easily make fluorescence, absorbance and turbidity measurements using the appropriate snap-in Application Module. It has excellent sensitivity and a wide measurement range. The all solid-state design ensures reliable and repeatable readings for many years.
Fluorescence modules are available for
in vivo
and extracted chlorophyll a, (acidification and non-acidification), Tracer Dyes (rhodamine, fluorescein and PTSA), Phycobiliproteins (phycocyanin and phycoerythrin pigments for estimating cyanobacterial abundances), CDOM/FDOM, refined and crude oil, optical brighteners, histamine and ammonium. The Turbidity module uses an IR LED with a wavelength of 860 nm to meet ISO 7027 requirements for Turbidity water quality measurements. Absorbance modules are available for analysis of nutrients (Nitrate, Phosphate, Silicate).
