Established in 1936 by Carl Schultz, the Laboratory Equipment Company introduced what would be the first rapid carbon determinator to the American iron and steel industry.The LECO product range extends from elemental analysis to thermogravimetry, calorimetry and protein determination as well as separation science with one- or two-dimensional GC-TOF mass spectrometers. Systems for optical emission spectroscopy using glow discharge and hardness testing devices as well as consumables complete the portfolio. Our laboratory in Berlin offers a deeper insight into the CHNOS, the new Cornerstone product line, materialography, GD-OES, TOF mass spectrometers, offers training, conferences and device demonstrations
