LECO Petrochemical Solutions
The petroleum refining process relies on a variety of analytical instruments and methods to ensure smooth operations and high product quality. Gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOFMS) has become the leading technology in petrochemical analysis due to its rapid acquisition, wide mass range, and accurate mass spectra.
At LECO, we offer reliable instruments for petrochemical analysis, such as state-of-the-art GCxGC modulators and high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometers. Plus, we offer reliable global customer support with a proven commitment to your success. Keep scrolling to learn more about LECO’s petrochemical analysis solutions.

Testimonial - Separation Science, Germany
Prof. Ralf. Zimmermann with LECO Service technician Frank Nagler during the installation of new LECO Pegasus BT 4D
“Not least the introduction of LECO HRT technology and BT technology was the reason to stay with LECO … Finally, the introduction of the LECO Benchtop platform allowed us to establish another robust and extremely sensitive GCxGC System for high-throughput analysis of our highly complex matrix. ”
