HACH DR6000 UV-VIS Spectrophotometer with RFID Technology
DR6000 UV-VIS Spectrophotometer: Fast, precise, and user-friendly for efficient water testing.
Experience Superior Performance with the DR6000 UV-VIS Spectrophotometer, the industry’s most advanced lab spectrophotometer
Designed for professional laboratories, it's features support lab managers in calibration routines, quality assurance, and the development of customized applications. This advanced UV-VIS spectrophotometer offers high-speed wavelength scanning across the UV (ultraviolet) and Visible Spectrum and comes with 250 pre-programmed Hach methods to meet all your water quality analysis needs, including regulatory compliance.
Optional accessories for the UV-VIS spectrophotometer include a carousel for different path length sample cells and a sample delivery system that eliminates optical difference errors, ensuring increased accuracy. This UV-VIS spectrophotometer is perfect for handling a wide range of water testing needs.
When you combine the DR6000 UV-VIS spectrophotometer with Hach’s unique LCK reagent vial system, you gain additional accuracy and error protection. RFID technology in both the DR6000 and LCK reagents automatically notify you if your LCK reagents have expired, automatically select the correct pre-programmed method and reduce variations. Hach's Truecal software comes standard in today's DR6000's which reduces variations in results caused by variances in chemistry raw materials.
This instrument connects to Claros, Hach’s innovative Water Intelligence System, enabling you to seamlessly connect and manage instruments, data, and process – anywhere, anytime. The result is greater confidence in your data and improved efficiency in your operations. To unlock the full potential of Claros, insist on Claros Enabled instruments.
Benefits
Your Water Testing Needs, All in One Spectrophotometer
The DR6000 has the most pre-programmed testing methods, including high-speed wavelength scanning across the UV and Visible Spectrum.
Built for High Volume and Exceptional Accuracy
A carousel sample changer allows up to seven sequential measurements. The Sipper Module, an instrument-controlled sample delivery system, increases precision by constant optical characteristics.
Advanced Quality Assurance at Your Fingertips
The DR6000 comes with integrated QA software for scheduling, documenting and interpreting all of your needed quality measurements.
Guided Procedures and Elimination of False Readings
The DR6000, when used with LCK cuvette tests, provides the accurate results you need by guiding you step-by-step through your testing procedures. With LCK cuvette tests, the instrument averages 10 readings and eliminates outliers, making scratched, flawed or dirty glassware a non-issue.
Automatically Avoids Errors
RFID* technology automatically updates the program calibration factors when you place the LCK reagent box near the DR6000. The instrument identifies chemistry expiration dates via a barcode on the vials, and detects chemistry coefficient factors to avoid errors that can occur in lot-to-lot variations in the chemistry.
*RFID technology available in all EU countries plus e.g. UK, Norway, Switzerland, Serbia, Macedonia, Turkey, Russia et al. For other countries please ask your local Hach contact person.
