Hach : What floorutions for analysing and monitoring water quality?

Hach is a global leader in water quality analysis, recognised for instruments, reagents and services that support laboratories and operators of drinking water, wastewater and industrial process facilities. From fieldwork to the laboratory and through to online monitoring, Hach provides spectrophotometers, turbidity meters, electrochemical sensors, cuvette tests and digital platforms that safeguard regulatory compliance and enable confident decision-making. Across Europe, Hach backs this up with strong application support and ready-to-use solutions for reliable, fast and traceable results.

A water pioneer since 1947

Founded in 1947 by Clifford and Kathryn Hach in Ames (Iowa), the brand was born of a simple belief: make water analysis more accessible and safer. It quickly developed reliable colourimetric kits before expanding into laboratory and field instruments. The headquarters was set up in Loveland (Colorado, USA), while the European business grew around Hach Lange and its renowned LCK/TNTplus cuvette tests. Over the decades, Hach accelerated its international reach, invested in metrology, optics and electrochemistry, and digitised data with Claros. Since 2023, Hach has been part of the Veralto group, staying true to its mission: safeguarding water quality, everywhere and around the clock.

Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

Hach covers the entire water analysis cycle: sampling, preparation, measurement, validation and data management. In the lab, its spectrophotometers and barcoded LCK/TNTplus cuvette tests streamline colourimetric chemistry (nutrients, COD, metals), reduce reagent handling and ensure traceability of methods in line with ISO/EN/EPA standards. In electrochemistry, multiparameter meters and digital sensors (pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, ORP) deliver robust accuracy, from quality control through to R&D. For physical parameters, turbidimeters and colourimeters guarantee low detection limits and excellent repeatability — essential for drinking water. In the field, rugged portable solutions provide fast measurements consistent with the lab. The Claros platform centralises data, manages calibration, creates alerts and eases integration with existing systems, delivering proven data integrity. Across drinking water, wastewater, the food & beverage sector, energy and the environment, Hach stands out for reliable measurements, validated methods and renowned application support — the right result, at the right time, in the right data format.
