General questions about content

What content can I find on the HACH LANGE website?
In the "Products" section, you can find all product information. This category is divided into various sections, such as Lab Instruments, Reagents and Standards, Meters and Probes and many more. You can obtain an overview of entire product groups, or view individual products. On the product detail pages, you can find all information related to a product, such as technical specifications, accessories or downloads for the product in question.


In addition, our website offers specific topic pages. On these pages, we have compiled solutions for selected areas (such as drinking water, power plants, the beverage industry and many more).
In the ABOUT US section, you can learn more about the history of our company, as well as about our Environmental Center or the current career opportunities.


You can find out about our extensive range of services under the SERVICE category. In addition to the recycling service and Analytical Quality Assurance, you can download any certificates you require. Please have the article number ready for this purpose, and batch number if necessary.

Where can I find operating instructions or manuals?
You can find downloads (such as operating instructions or manuals) on the product detail page.  Either search for the product directly, or navigate through the various product groups found under "Products".

How can I download certificates?
In the Service section, you have the option to download Safety Data Sheets, Calibration Certificates and Certificates of Analysis. Please have the article number ready for this purpose, and batch number if necessary.

How does the search function work?
To search for very specific products, enter key words in the search field in the top right. After you have clicked on "Search", all relevant results will be shown.

You are also able to improve search results here. This is because a new navigation level will now be shown on the left-hand side, in addition to the search results. With this navigation level, you can limit the search to a relevant category, e.g. to specific applications and device types or parameters.

Where can I download new software?
We regularly offer new software so that your measurement equipment is up to date. Simply search for the product directly. On the product detail page, you will find up-to-date software under the "Downloads" tab.

Questions about orders and delivery

How does ordering work?
Please log in with your login details first. Then begin the order process by clicking on your filled shopping cart.

Now all product items will be shown. Do these include items that you would like to send with one of the next orders? Then click on the "Save for Later" button. Otherwise, you can also move items to or delete items from the shopping cart.

If the order items are correct, click on the "CHECKOUT" button. Our system will then guide you through the ordering process in four steps.  Contact and address information will also be shown in this process. A delivery address can be selected or a new one entered.  In the final step, you will see an order overview. Here, you can also enter your purchase order number.

If you would like to pay by credit card, please click on this option. We will then call you back. Please have your credit card ready.
Is all information correct? Then click "order". The order is now sent.  

How can I track my order?
On the top bar, click on Order Status.

Please enter your order number and your zip code here.

What are Favorites?
The "Favorites" function is intended to help you to keep track of interesting products that you have seen in our store. Save your favorites, and simply decide what you would like to purchase later.
To do this, click the "Add to Favorites" button on the respective product information page.

The favorites will be automatically saved to your account.

Of course, you can also add all products that you have saved to your favorites to the cart, or request a quote. The product remains saved to your favorites even after you have added it to the cart or requested a quote.
Tip: Add products that you buy often to your favorites. That way, you can add them to your cart with a single click, and do not have to search for the products individually in the store.


How can I request a quote on the website?
Requesting a quote from our store is just as simple as buying a product. Under every order button, there is a "Request Quote" link. Click on this link. A notification will then appear, stating that the product has been added to the quote request. You can now proceed with the quote request process, or return to the store.

*Notice: After you have added a product to the quote request, the request is not automatically sent. To do this, please follow the three steps to completion. In the final step, you will see a field where you can enter an internal invoice number.

How can I complete recurring purchases quickly?
You can easily order consumables with just a few clicks. You can find an Express Order directly on our homepage or in the navigation.

To place an order, you can simply enter the respective product number and quantity and add the products to the cart by clicking "Add to Cart".
