From 1 January 2005, the laboratory products previously distributed and supported by Radiometer will be distributed and supported in the UK by its sister organisation Hach Lange
"Continuation of customer service quality is sustained by the transition of skilled team members and specialist knowledge to Hach Lange", says Darin Stell, in charge of the Hach Lange business in the UK.
Radiometer Analytical manufactures an extensive range of laboratory systems consisting of instruments, electrodes and other sensors, calibration standards and the corresponding software and metrology services.
Its systems are dedicated to testing, research and teaching in the laboratory and in quality control for manufacturing processes.
Products focus on electrochemical parameters such as pH, conductivity and ion measurements in addition to titration and voltammetry.
Radiometer Analytical provides analytical systems to customer within a wide variety of sectors including teaching and education, research, food and beverages, pharmaceutical, water treatment, power, metal plating, petro-chemical and other industries.
Radiometer Analytical has been building its expertise for more than sixty years since the company pioneered its very first pH meter in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Herman Warnshuis from Hach Lange Europe, commenting on the recent announcement, said: "it makes a lot of sense for us to market and serve the Radiometer Analytical laboratory products because we have a large and well trained sales and service operation in Europe, focused on meeting the needs of the laboratory customer in the segments where Radiometer Analytical systems work best.
"Both Radiometer Analytical and Hach Lange have been part of the water quality platform of Danaher for a number of years, and as such we share the same values in terms of quality, service, delivery, and innovation. "So, Radiometer Analytical customers can look forward to even better service, and the Hach Lange customers can look forward to an even wider choice of market leading products."
