In the last several years, electric vehicles have become increasingly popular, and many manufacturers are beginning to provide EV options for their consumers. Because of this rise, the demand for graphite has significantly increased. Graphite not only makes up the largest portion of EV batteries, but the most important part of the battery, the anode. […]
With the recent explosion of the electric vehicle industry, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are in seriously high demand. Although they are not the only batteries that can power an EV, they are some of the safest, longest lasting, and most durable out there, making them a popular choice amongst manufacturers. These LFP batteries are […]
This year marks the 20th annual conference of the Metabolomics Society! LECO is excited to be a sponsor for Metabolomics 2024, starting on 16 June and ending 20 June, and we’re counting down the minutes until the conference begins. Held in the buzzing metropolis of Osaka, Japan, this event is the largest metabolomics meeting worldwide. […]
In an era marked by intricate chemical compositions and emerging contaminants, conventional targeted analysis methods often prove inadequate for gaining a comprehensive understanding of environmental and biological matrices. Enter non-targeted screening – an innovative approach enabling the simultaneous detection and identification of thousands of compounds, regardless of prior knowledge of their presence. Positioned at the […]
After carefully reviewing hundreds of entries from hopeful labs around the United States, LECO Corporation has selected Dr. Kate Perrault Uptmor as the recipient of a brand-new LECO Pegasus BTX 4D with Paradigm™ Flow Modulator.
The 72nd Annual American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) Conference is taking place from 2 June – 6 June. We’ll be in attendance, and we’ll have our all-new BenchTop Mass Spectrometer, the Pegasus BTX, with us! Check out this new advancement in mass spectrometry and ask our experts anything you’re wanting to know at Booth […]
The short answer to that question is yes… eventually. But there are several factors that play into it. You may notice that some of your consumables have labels with specific expiration dates, while others do not. For items that don’t include a specific expiration date, shelf-life is based on the date of manufacture. The manufacturing […]
Regardless of what kind of diet you follow, it’s likely that you’re aware of the importance of consuming protein. Protein is an essential macronutrient that is responsible for the growth and repair of muscles and bones, as well as the creation of some hormones and enzymes. It is also an excellent source of energy. Foods […]
In 1936, LECO Corporation introduced the first-ever rapid carbon determinator in the United States. Since then, the company has expanded globally and burst into new markets inside the world of analysis. Millions of samples worldwide have been analyzed using LECO instruments for elemental analysis, thermal analysis, metallography, and mass spectrometry. While science is certainly “our […]

We’re thrilled to announce the historic launch of the Pegasus BTX, which took place at Analytica 2024 in Europe, a premier event in the instrumental analytical testing market. We’ve underscored our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that redefine industry standards.
Are you interested in learning more about our offerings for elemental analysis of inorganic samples or sample preparation equipment for metallography? Then we highly recommend visiting us at one of our upcoming trade shows! We will be attending a great line-up of shows this Spring/Summer. Below is a list of when and where we’ll be […]
Since the first humans walked the earth, our species has been changing the world. Brilliant minds throughout existence have provided us with life-altering inventions and ideas, like medicines that cure our ailments and lengthen our lives, or technology that connects us in ways we never thought possible. The human mind has thought up some incredible […]
St. Patrick’s Day is an annual feast day celebrating the patron saint, St. Patrick. It’s a national holiday in both Ireland and Northern Ireland. The holiday, taking place on March 17th, has a number of traditions associated with it here in the USA as well—wearing green, eating the traditional Irish corned beef and cabbage, the Chicago […]
In 1973, LECO Corporation introduced the industry’s first line of complete solutions for metallographic analysis. All of these instruments typically require some kind of consumable, but it’s up to the customer to decide which ones they would like to use. LECO offers a wide selection of consumables — for example, we offer fourteen different types […]
All metals corrode over time due to atmospheric exposure. Galvanization can fight corrosion and extend the life of metals. Galvanization makes sense; what might be unclear is: what type of galvanization should you use?
As the concern for global warming has increased over the years, ways to sequester carbon has been top-of-mind for many scientists and researchers. Capturing atmospheric carbon in the form of carbon dioxide, converting it, and storing it in soil would not only help the overall environment, but it could help farmers grow better crops as well.
Imagine yourself on the road, driving past a lush forest that stretches beside you. If you were to take a moment and look out the window, that forest would look like one long strip of hearty pine trees. However, should you take to the skies and look down from a plane, that same forest would […]
Whether it be in your post-workout protein shake or breakfast yogurt bowl, whey protein is in most foods consumed daily. Whey is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained and is the byproduct of the manufacturing of cheese or casein. Whey protein has many commercial uses, and the global market is expected […]
Got milk? Dairy contains a “complete” protein, making it a prime candidate for high-quality protein or nutrition products. This is driving a growing interest in dairy protein, making protein analysis more important than ever. In a recent article with FOOD-Lab International Technical, R&D Director Monika Partyka explains the use of LECO’s FP928 Protein Analyzer in […]
