Phosphorus TNTplus chemistry and your Hach spectrophotometer are engineered to simplify water analysis for accurate results, every time.
For determination of Reactive (ortho) and Total Phosphorus (phosphate) in wastewater, drinking water, boiler water, surface water and process water. TNTplus phosphorus reagents can provide an Orthophosphate or Total Phosphorus result.
Ascorbic Acid Method is Equivalent to EPA 365.1.
Phosphorus TNTplus chemistry allows you to test for reactive or total phosphorus with each vial. Follow the easy to navigate procedure printed on the lid of the box and then insert the TNTplus vial into your Hach spectrophotometer for an immediate result. Measurments are reported in the low range of 0.15 - 4.50 mg/L as PO4. If you are required to digest your phosphorus sample, performing this step in the sealed vial eliminates loss to evaporation and allows up to 30 simultaneous digestions depending on which DRB200 Reactor Block you are using.
Phosphates present in organic and condensed inorganic forms (meta-, pyro- or other polyphosphates) are first converted to reactive orthophosphate in the total phosphorus procedure. Treatment of the sample with acid and heat provides the conditions for hydrolysis of the condensed inorganic forms. Organic phosphates are also converted to orthophosphates in the total phosphorus procedure by heating with acid and persulfate. The reactive phosphorus procedure measures only the reactive (ortho) phosphorus present in the sample.

Three Decades of Research at Acton Lake
A multi-disciplinary team at Miami University, Ohio, has been studying the environmental change at Acton Lake for over three decades. Using three different NexSens buoys over this time, the team has an incredible archive of data that is helping build a picture of Acton’s past, present, and future. Until recently, a NexSens CB-50 buoy was used alongside other environmental monitoring at Acton Lake. In May 2025, the Miami team deployed a new XB-200 buoy , future-proofing their ongoing monitoring using real-time buoy systems. Acton Lake, a small hypereutrophic reservoir in southwest Ohio, covers 2.4km² and has a maximum depth of about 8m. The dam was built in 1956, and the lake has a large agricultural watershed.

Source Water Monitoring in Albany, New York: Tracing Water Quality throughout Tributaries
Thousands of US cities pull their drinking water from natural source waters like reservoirs, rivers, and streams, making overall watershed health a key consideration for water providers. In Albany, New York, the Albany Department of Water and Water Supply delivers drinking water to over 100,000 residents as well as monitors and manages the larger drinking water supply watershed. Hannah Doherty, Environmental Specialist at the Albany Department of Water and Water Supply , spends her days working with a small team to monitor the drinking supply and the connected water bodies. Doherty explains, “We’re the first to encounter the water that ends up being the drinking water.

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.
