The Hach DRB 200 Dry Thermostat Reactor provides unique one-key operation. Programs for Hach procedures with digestion are preprogrammed into the instrument. And it’s fast—the block heats from 20 to 150°C in less than 10 minutes.
The fully insulated heater block of the DRB200 reactor means there can be no skin contact with the heater block. Temperature safeguards are provided to prevent overheating. The lids are transparent and lock do deter premature checking of the progress of the reaction. And the reactor will emit an audible signal and automatically shutdown at the end of the run.
Use the DRB200 reactor for digestions for metals analysis, digestions for nutrients analysis, or culture biological samples. Control temperatures in the reactor from 37 to 165°C in 1°C increments. In addition to preprogrammed digestion methods, use the reactor to program and store up to three custom methods.
The DRB200 reactor can heat solutions in round vials of two different sizes. Small, 16-mm diameter vial wells are suitable for Hach COD, UniCell, TOC, and Test ’N Tube vials. Larger, 20-mm diameter vial wells are intended for sample preparation reaction vessels using the Metals Prep Set.
Two heat blocks in the DRB200 Dual Block Models reactor give the operator independent control of two temperatures and durations. Use this option to run two programs at the same time. A Single Block DRB Reactor cannot be upgraded to a Dual Block Model at a later time.

Wildfire Prevention in the Sierra Nevada Region with the Yuba Watershed Institute
Though recent wildfires have sparked new conversations about wildfire management and response, groups like the Yuba Watershed Institute have been monitoring the forests and water resources of the Sierra Nevada region for decades, managing approximately 5,000 acres of land with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and about 7,000 acres in private land partnerships. The goal of the Institute is to work with local communities and land agencies to improve watershed and forestry management through informed practices and public outreach. The goals of the Yuba Watershed Institute are three-fold: Improve the ability of fire suppression agencies like the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ( CAL FIRE ) and the US Forest Service.

Real-time wave data supports accurate weather prediction, safe and efficient maritime operations, and provides valuable safety and operating condition information for recreation and commercial fishing. Understanding wave dynamics also helps with the design of protective coastal structures like seawalls, breakwaters, and jetties. It also supports better prediction of their impact on sediment transport and coastal geomorphology. Wave data is a key factor in qualifying and designing offshore wind farms and harnessing kinetic energy for electrical generation. It helps with the understanding of ocean-atmosphere interactions and contributes to studies of sea-level rise and climate change impacts.
