What is Hach?

Hach is an analysis and measurement technology brand focused on water quality analysis.

The brand's history dates back to 1933. Hach develops solutions to make water analysis easier and more efficient. In 2004, Hach merged with the German company Dr. Bruno Lange GmbH.

Today Hach products are used in many areas, from municipal water plants to wastewater treatment plants, industrial facilities, laboratories and field applications.

Hach's products and solutions are developed in particular for the needs of measuring and analysing water quality and monitoring processes.

Hach Products

Hach's product range is not limited to a single instrument group. It includes products for different needs, from laboratory and field analysis to continuous process measurement.

The main Hach product groups are:

Hach Spectrophotometers

Used in water analysis laboratories, Hach spectrophotometers offer solutions for the photometric analysis of various water quality parameters.

Hach's spectrophotometer family includes models such as the DR1900, DR4900 and DR6000.

Hach's official product information states that its spectrophotometers can be used with pre-programmed methods for ammonium, COD, chlorine and many other parameters.

Hach DR6000

The Hach DR6000 is an advanced UV-VIS spectrophotometer used especially for laboratory water and wastewater analysis.

Hach's product information states that the DR6000 has more than 250 pre-programmed methods and can analyse various water quality parameters in the UV and visible ranges.

When used with Hach LCK reagents, the DR6000 offers features such as automatic method selection and linking reagent information to the instrument thanks to RFID technology.

Hach DR4900

The Hach DR4900 is one of the spectrophotometers used for routine water analysis in the laboratory.

Hach Turkey's product information states that the DR4900 can analyse aluminium, COD, phosphate, nitrogen and other water quality parameters. The instrument has features that support sample preparation, analysis and documentation of results.

Hach DR1900

The Hach DR1900 is a portable spectrophotometer designed for field use.

Thanks to its compact design, it can be used in applications where water analysis has to be carried out outside the laboratory. Hach positions the DR1900 especially for field work.

Hach LCK Cuvette Tests

One of Hach's key product groups is LCK Cuvette Tests.

The LCK system consists of ready-to-use cuvette tests for measuring various parameters in water and wastewater analysis.

Depending on the application and product, different Hach LCK tests are available for:

• COD
• Ammonium
• Nitrate
• Nitrite
• Phosphorus
• Chlorine
• Iron
• Copper
• Manganese
• Aluminium
• Other water quality parameters

In Hach's official product structure, LCK is a separate chemistry and reagent product group.

Using LCK cuvette tests together with compatible Hach spectrophotometers helps run the analysis process in a more standardised and controlled way.

For detailed information on Hach LCK products:

You can visit our Hach LCK Cuvette Tests page or send us the product code for information.

Hach COD Kits

COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) is one of the key parameters monitored especially in wastewater and process analysis.

The Hach product family includes LCK cuvette tests for different COD concentration ranges.

The product with the appropriate measuring range must be selected according to the expected COD concentration of the sample.

For this reason, when buying a Hach COD kit, rather than simply searching for a "COD kit", the LCK product code, measuring range and the spectrophotometer to be used should be considered together.

Hach Ammonium, Nitrate and Phosphorus Analysis

Nitrogen and phosphorus compounds are among the important analysis parameters in water and wastewater treatment processes.

Hach's laboratory analysis solutions include analysis methods for parameters such as:

• Ammonium
• Nitrate
• Nitrite
• Phosphate
• Total phosphorus
• Nitrogen compounds

The availability of ready-made methods for many water quality parameters on Hach laboratory instruments helps with routine analysis.

Where is Hach Used?

Hach products can be used to analyse water quality and monitor processes in many sectors and applications.

Drinking Water Plants

Water quality must be monitored at different stages, from raw water to treated water and the distribution system.

Hach offers various analysis solutions for drinking water applications, including spectrophotometers, colorimeters, turbidimeters, sensors and field test kits.

Wastewater Treatment Plants

In wastewater treatment plants, various chemical and physical parameters must be monitored regularly.

Hach products can be used for laboratory analysis and process monitoring.

Industrial Plants

In chemicals, food, energy and other manufacturing sectors, monitoring water quality is important because of the role water plays in the production process.

Hach offers laboratory, field and process analysis solutions for industrial applications.

Environmental Laboratories

Environmental laboratories can use laboratory spectrophotometers, reagents and test systems to analyse different water samples.

How are Hach Spectrophotometers and LCK Used Together?

One of the key features of Hach systems is that instruments and chemical tests can be designed to work together.

For example, a laboratory can use the following together:

• Hach DR6000
• Hach LCK Cuvette Test
• The relevant analysis method

Hach DR6000 product information states that the instrument can be used with the LCK reagent system and that reagent information can be integrated into the analysis process via RFID technology.

This set-up can help laboratory staff choose the right analysis method and run the analysis process in a more controlled way.

Hach COA – Certificate of Analysis

For Hach products, the COA (Certificate of Analysis) is important for quality documentation related to the product and production lot.

On Hach's Turkey website, the Certificate of Analysis is provided as a separate document resource.

Especially for Hach LCK products, the product code and lot information can be important for tracking the documentation of the product.

Keeping records of information such as the following for the Hach products used in your laboratory can contribute to quality and traceability processes:

• Product code
• Lot number
• Expiry date
• Relevant COA document

How to Choose a Hach Product

When choosing a Hach instrument or analysis kit, rather than looking only at the price, the analysis need must be correctly identified.

First, the following questions should be answered:

Which parameter will be measured?

For example, determine which parameters will be monitored, such as:

• COD
• Ammonium
• Nitrate
• Phosphate
• Chlorine
• Iron
• Manganese
• Turbidity
• pH
• Conductivity

Laboratory or field?

Where the analysis will be carried out is an important criterion in choosing the instrument.

Benchtop instruments can be considered for laboratory applications and portable instruments for field applications.

How many analyses per day?

In laboratories with high sample volumes, features such as the instrument's method capacity, data management, automation and ease of use become more important.

Which measuring range is needed?

Especially with LCK tests, there may be different measuring ranges for the same parameter.

The product should therefore be selected according to the approximate concentration of the sample.

Which instruments and reagents will be used?

Instrument and chemistry compatibility must always be checked.
