Overview
The Hach DR 3900 is a benchtop visible spectrum (320-1100 nm) split beam spectrophotometer with over 220 pre-programmed methods optimized for laboratory water analysis. The DR3900 spectrophotometer is optimized for safe processes and accurate results daily. Control parameters like Ammonium, COD, Phosphate, Nitrate and many others are easy to test.
Simple Preparation
TNTplus® vials use Dosicaps - freeze-dried reagents integrated into a sealed cap - that are easier to use than Powder Pillows or Liquid Reagents, without any risk of contamination. The boxes and vials are color-coded for fast and easy parameter and range recognition of the test needed. Step-by-step illustrated test methods are printed on the box as a quick reference and can also be called up in the instrument menu.
Comprehensive Documentation
Measurement results are documented on a detailed level with a timestamp, operator ID, absorbance reading, and calculated concentration. The 2D barcode delivers the lot number and expiry date, logged with every result. For accreditation, the certificate of analysis can be called up just by wiping the reagent box towards the RFID sensor.
Fast Execution
The Hach DR 3900 spectrophotometer automatically reads a 2D barcode on the TNTplus vial to identify the appropriate method and take the measurement. The vial spins to take 10-fold absorbance readings that will be averaged for result determination to exclude scratches and fingerprints. Instrument calibration verification and high instrument stability all combine to eliminate the need to run reagent blanks.
Customizable
With the ability to store hundreds of user-determined methods, operators are able to tailor the DR 3900 to meet the everyday needs of the facility. Optimizing and customizing the method portfolio, combined with regular software updates and Claros™ connectivity, makes the DR3900 the ultimate solution to water quality lab needs.

Monitoring Nutrients and Water Quality in Ohio Wetlands
The ecological importance of wetlands cannot be overstated, serving as unique habitats for a variety of species and playing a critical role in nutrient cycling. Yet, many of these environments have deteriorated over the years due to pollution, rising temperatures, and added stress from human intervention like damming, diking, and channeling for irrigation. To bring these ecosystems back, wetland management and restoration have become key issues for environmental agencies and resource managers. To give wetlands the best chance at recovery and maximize efficiency, data-driven restoration efforts are essential.
Poás Volcano Gives a Glimpse of Life on Mars
To get an idea of what life would be like on Mars, you don’t need to travel millions of miles away--instead, you could go to Costa Rica and visit the Poás Volcano and its crater lake, Laguna Caliente. “Collectively, the suite of alteration minerals at Poás crater and identified across Mars at relict hydrothermal sites shows strong correlation, indicating the high temperature and highly acidic geochemical processes occurring at Poás are quite relevant to understanding past hydrothermal processes on Mars,” says Justin Wang, a graduate student at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He is currently conducting research at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics alongside his advisor, Brian Hynek. Wang is currently a master's student in aerospace engineering.
Testing CO2 Removal Strategies in the Pacific Northwest
The ocean plays a key role in carbon dioxide (CO2) removal and storage, also known as carbon sequestration. However, with increasing emissions, a large amount of CO2 escapes into the atmosphere, worsening climate change and leading to increases in surface temperatures. In order to mitigate some of these impacts, researchers like Ally Savoie at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are working hard to identify ways to safely improve the CO2 removal and storage capabilities in the ocean. Savoie started her career at Wright State University , where she worked in Silvia Newell’s lab examining biogeochemical cycling of nutrients in a river system. From there, she decided to pursue a master’s in marine science at the University of Southern Mississippi with Dr.
Smart Buoys Advance Climate Monitoring in Swiss Lakes
Lakes are sentinels of climate change . Globally, they are warming at an unprecedented but uneven rate, and in many places they also face direct human pressure, including from agriculture and recreation. In the Alps, scientists generally agree that climate change is of particular threat to remote lakes , where more pronounced warming threatens fragile ecosystems. Alpine Lakes in a Changing Climate Matteo Tonellotto is part of the team at the Environmental Observatory of the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland (OASI)–a multidisciplinary team of scientists, IT specialists, and chemical laboratory technicians committed to collecting, managing, and integrating high-quality environmental data.
