We are using the Aquafluor Fluorometer to develop a screening method for evidence of wastewater contamination in drinking water, ground water, and surface water samples. We have begun testing tap water samples for the presence of optical brighteners and comparing them to water that has been treated using commercially-available carbon filters. In addition to these experiments, we are also getting ready to sample ponds that receive wastewater-contaminated groundwater for the presence of optical brighteners. The instrument is very easy to use and we appreciate the donation, which has enabled us to move forward with this project. - Laurel Standley, Silent Spring Institute

The donation of a Trilogy Laboratory Fluorometer from Turner is a major support for scientific groups like ours, working under technical conditions that frequently slow down the ideal research process. We are awaiting the reception of the instrument to further continuing our research on plankton ecology and eutrophication in coastal lagoons of Uruguay. We greatly appreciate the honor of the donation. - Daniel Conde, University of Uruguay
