Water Analysis Simplified

Lance Reisman, president of Hach, described this feature as “similar to a GPS telling you when to turn”. He added, “Hach strives to provide the latest technology to revolutionise the way the world thinks about water analysis. So much of what Hach does every day is focused around how water testing can be simpler, while always providing the best quality. We are confident that the DR 3900 will meet these expectations.”

The DR 3900 eliminates false readings by taking ten readings of a prepared sample from different angles and removing outliers caused by scratches, flaws or dirt on the glassware.  The RFID technology allows for hands-free calibration updates. Similar to a grocery store scanner where the system recognises what you are buying, the DR 3900 automatically recognises the lot, expiration and calibration curves associated with each TNTplus chemistry sample. When the operator places a TNTplus box next to the machine, the DR 3900 immediately updates calibration factors and lets the user know if the chemistry is expired.

RFID technology also enables tracking of samples. Sample bottles with RFID technology can easily be tracked with the new Hach locator device, eliminating sample mix-ups and providing better sample traceability. A combination of RFID tags at the sample location, on the bottle and with each operator allow traceability for each measurement.

Additionally, the DR 3900 was built to connect easily with any computer or water management system through 1 LAN and 3 USB ports. This allows users to store and share the data in a way that is best suited to their needs.
