Bringing Effortless Accuracy to Your Lab
Built on the trusted legacy of the DR3900, the DR4900 Spectrophotometer increases analytical reliability and strengthens your laboratory’s operational performance. Engineered for routine and high‑throughput water analysis, the instrument combines stable optics, automated verification functions, and streamlined workflows to deliver consistent, traceable results across a wide range of parameters.
Accurate, reproducible data is fundamental for laboratory oversight. The DR4900 reduces sources of analytical variability by integrating diagnostic controls, guided workflows, and an interface designed to standardise testing steps. The result is fewer repeat analyses, reduced operator‑dependent variation, and better confidence in day‑to‑day results.
Technical Innovations That Protect Data Integrity
10-inch High‑Resolution Touchscreen
The large, full‑colour display enables rapid navigation of analytical steps, clear visualisation of spectral data, and fast review of sample information. The modern UI is optimised for multi‑operator labs, reducing training time and minimising navigation errors.
Integrated Turbidity Diagnostics
Optical monitoring verifies whether sample turbidity may interfere with LCK cuvette measurements. The system alerts the operator when filtration or additional sample preparation is recommended, helping maintain result accuracy in samples with suspended solids.
Temperature Monitoring for Vial Tests
An integrated temperature sensor evaluates vial temperature prior to measurement. This helps ensure that exothermic reactions or insufficient equilibration times do not impact analytical output, particularly important for temperature‑sensitive colorimetric methods.
With more than 250 pre‑programmed Hach methods, including a broad range of regulatory‑relevant parameters, the DR4900 supports standardised workflows and consistent method execution. Its robust optical design and built‑in diagnostics help maintain instrument performance over time, giving you greater oversight and control over daily testing operations.
Trust the DR4900 Lab Spectrophotometer to deliver reliable, repeatable water quality data while improving analytical efficiency across your laboratory.
The DR4900 Spectrophotometer maintains the trusted core of the DR3900, now enhanced with a 10” screen and modern user interface that helps reduce training time and speed up routine workflows. It’s the familiar performance lab professionals trust, elevated for modern needs.
Temperature and turbidity diagnostics help prevent common testing errors -- reducing rework and ensuring consistent accuracy. When using Hach LCK cuvette tests, the DR4900 automatically checks the temperature and turbidity of your test, providing you with alerts when out of range, giving you the confidence you need in every measurement.
DR4900 users benefit from end-to-end expertise across instruments, chemistries, and service. So you get faster resolutions, deeper insights, and consistent results from a single partner.
Two versions of the DR4900 are available: one without an external camera (LPV451.99.00011) or with an external camera (LPV451.99.00111) to enable Smart Workflow features including Certificate of Analysis QR code scanning and Sample ID Text Recognition.
• Without Camera (LPV451.99.00011)
Delivers the full DR4900 analytical performance and error prevention features for routine lab workflows
• With Camera (LPV451.99.00111)
Includes all DR4900 performance features plus an external camera that enables Smart Workflow capabilities such as Certificate of Analysis QR code scanning and Sample ID Text Recognition - reducing manual data entry and supporting documentation tracking directly at the instrument.
