About us
Our story began in 1936 with the world's first rapid carbon determinator, transforming the American iron and steel industry with fast, reliable results. For 85 years, LECO has been a trusted global leader in analytical instrumentation. Today, that same innovative spirit drives our complete portfolio of solutions, which has led to global recognition of expertise in elemental analysis, mass spectrometry and metallography and optical equipment. Our instruments solve complex challenges across a range of applications: Metals & Materials Science: Precise elemental and thermal analysis for metals, ceramics, and advanced materials. Protein Analysis: Rapid, accurate protein analysis for nutritional labeling and quality control. Petrochemical: Characterize complex hydrocarbon mixtures and monitor elemental content with mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Battery Materials: Measure carbon/sulfur and graphite content to support performance, safety, and quality control in advanced energy storage technologies. Food Safety: Comprehensive screening for contaminants like MOSH/MOAH, pesticide residues, and other unknown threats to ensure product integrity and regulatory compliance. Flavor & Aroma: High-resolution separation and identification of volatile/semi-volatile compounds for authenticity and sensory profiling. Agriculture: Quantify key soil indicators like Total Organic Carbon (TOC) to support sustainable farming. Environmental: Detect trace microplastics and PFAS in soil and water. Life Sciences: Non-targeted metabolomics research powered by high-resolution mass spectrometry for deeper biological insights. With in-house manufacturing, every LECO product meets strict standards for quality and precision.

Ever wonder who determines your food's protein content? The protein number on the label of your favorite Thanksgiving dish is the result of tireless quality control. It's the work of dedicated food scientists who ensure every bite meets its nutritional promise. To guarantee that number is honest and accurate for the turkey all the way down to the cranberry sauce, they rely on sophisticated equipment. LECO provides advanced tools so food scientists can carve out precise protein data, and you can carve an accurately labeled turkey. Our FP928 counts every bit of protein and ensures accuracy where precision matters most. Go behind the scenes and see how your food is tested: https://lnkd.in/evD9WtqJ #BehindTheScenes #QualityControl #FoodIndustry #Thanksgiving #LECO

Experience Days Berlin – Highlights Video is here! Two months ago, we opened the doors of our European Application & Technology Centre in Berlin — welcoming researchers, scientists and customers for three days of application snapshots, hands-on demos, workflow discussions and great conversations. We’ve now wrapped those moments into a short Highlights Video… Comment if you spot yourself! From Elemental Analyzers and GC×GC-TOFMS sessions in materials, food safety, environmental and battery analysis, the excitement was incredible. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such an inspiring event. Special thanks to Silvia Aguiló Losa and SGS for showing us their MOSH/MOAH workflow onsite in their state of the art laboratory. If you missed it, watch the video below or explore what we covered here: https://lnkd.in/er9P6RQ8 #LECO #ExperienceDays #Berlin #AnalyticalScience #GCxGC #TOFMS #LabLife #Innovation #SGS

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are structurally diverse and notoriously persistent, making traditional targeted monitoring insufficient. Many volatile PFAS are only found through non-targeted screening. Join Prof. Flavio Antonio Franchina and Marco De Poli (University of Ferrara) for a powerful webinar introducing an indispensable dual analytical strategy: combining GC×GC and TOFMS. Learn how the superior separation of GC×GC-TOFMS enables the confident, non-targeted discovery of hidden contaminants, allowing you to move Beyond the Target in your environmental monitoring fight. 🗓️ Date: Wednesday, November 26 ⏰ Time: 8:00 AM EST Register now and advance your PFAS strategy: https://ow.ly/vLnf50XqaKZ #PFAS #EnvironmentalMonitoring #GCxGC #GCTOFMS #Webinar #LECO
