LECO Corporation Worldwide Manufacturer of Analytical Instrumentation Today, that same spirit of innovation drives our comprehensive portfolio of solutions.

For over 90 years, LECO has been a trusted global leader in the development and manufacturing of analytical instrumentation. Our story began in 1936 with the world's first rapid carbon determinator, a revolutionary instrument that transformed the American iron and steel industry by providing fast, reliable results. We are globally recognized for our expertise in elemental analysis, mass spectrometry and metallography and optical equipment. Our advanced instruments are designed to solve complex challenges and empower labs across a wide range of applications, including:

• Food Safety: Providing comprehensive screening for contaminants like MOSH/MOAH, pesticide residues, and other unknown threats to ensure product integrity and quality control.

• Food, Flavor and Aroma: Delivering unparalleled separation and identification of volatile and semi-volatile compounds, allowing you to characterize flavor and ensure product authenticity.

• Agriculture: Quantifying key indicators like Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in soil.

• Materials Science: Providing precise elemental and thermal analysis for metals, ceramics, and more.

• Environmental Research: Analyzing for trace microplastics or untangling PFAS from the molecular noise in contaminated soil, water, and more.

• Life Sciences: Delivering high-resolution mass spectrometry for non-targeted metabolomics research. With in-house manufacturing in St. Joseph, Michigan, every LECO product meets our strict standards for quality and precision. Our global network of 25 worldwide subsidiaries and distributors authorizes us to sell in more than 75 countries, ensuring you receive unmatched local support, service, and application expertise, no matter where you are.

High sample volumes don't have to mean bottlenecked lab workflows! 🧪⚡

The new LECO CM812 brings higher throughput and greater efficiency to multi-phase carbon and moisture determination. With up to 50% faster furnace ramp-ups, active cooling, and an optional 100-position autoloader, your lab can clear large sample queues significantly faster and keep testing moving seamlessly.

Here is how the CM812 streamlines daily operation:
• Quantifies multiple carbon and moisture phases in a single run
• Detects ultra-low levels even in complex matrices
• Features front and side access points for quick maintenance and maximum uptime
• Powered by intuitive Cornerstone® software for simplified data review and operation
