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.

Great Lakes Research Center: Designing Targeted Monitoring Solutions
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ), the Great Lakes have more miles of coastline than the contiguous Atlantic and Pacific coasts combined and contain 20 percent of the world's freshwater, making it a critical region to protect and conserve. Continuous monitoring and data-informed resource management are key components of managing waters in the region. Hayden Henderson, a research engineer with the Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), designs and deploys monitoring platforms throughout the Great Lakes. With a background in environmental engineering, Henderson enjoyed the challenge of creating systems and making them work to obtain difficult, remote measurements.

In Arkansas, the rugged terrain of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains dominates the north and west, eventually yielding to the vast, fertile flatlands of the Mississippi River Delta to the east. Hundreds of reservoirs and lakes punctuate the landscape, while swift streams snake through the valleys and hills, eventually giving way to the slow-moving rivers and bayous in the south. The waterways of the state are teeming with life. Black bass dominate most of these ecosystems and have drawn anglers for centuries. The most sought-after fish in one of the country's most prominent fishing states, Arkansas treasures its black bass populations.

White Lake in Western Michigan is a vestige of North America’s glacial past, and gets its name from an interpretation of the Indian, “Wabish-Sippe,” meaning the river with white clay. The twin towns of Whitehall and Montague, which nestle on White Lake’s shore, have shared a close connection with the lake since their foundation–from the growth of the lumbering industry, to industrializsation, the expansion of tourism, and most recently, environmental protection. The White Lake Association (WLA) was founded in 1988 by residents concerned about proposed development at the lake’s northern end.
