Moisture Content is a key parameter for all food and feed laboratories. It is needed for dry base calculations as well as for the general water content determination. In milk and milk products, the amount of total solids TS is an important parameter. Additionally,...
When it comes to the world of plastics and polymers, precision matters. From everyday items like water bottles to high-performance materials used in aerospace, the quality and consistency of polymers directly impacts their functionality. One often overlooked but...
Are you itching to see our new CX300 sectioning machine in person? Well, you’re in luck! LECO will be in attendance at IMAT in Cleveland, Ohio, and MS&T in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. IMAT (International Materials Application and Technologies), taking place on the...
According to a recent article published by Scientific Reports, when it comes to biomedical research, non-human primates are frequently used because their anatomy and physiology is very similar to humans. They also have similar responses to diseases and therapeutics....
Sectioning machines (enclosed abrasive saws) come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and methods for cutting. They can be as simple as a manual saw, like what you might find at a hardware store, or they can be large, complex, and automated, like something you’d see...
Moisture content is a key parameter for all food and feed laboratories. It is needed for dry base calculations as well as for the general water content determination. In milk and other liquids, the amount of the total solids TS is an important parameter. The TGM800 is...
In 2023, global annual cement production reached about 4.2 billion tons. This is more than twice the amount of global steel production (~1.9 Bio tons in 2023). Based on the data alone, one can’t emphasize enough the importance of building material in our economy....
ASTM International, formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials, is globally recognized as one of the most respected standards development organizations. Standards are developed through the consensus process, with around 150 committees (and over...
For anyone who has worked with polishing/grinding equipment, like LECO’s PX Series, you know that using the right combination of abrasives and polishing cloths is key. However, changing out the materials can sometimes be a tedious task. As part of LECO’s...
The fall meeting of the American Chemical Society is sure to be a great one with all that LECO is bringing to the table… or should I say, booth? The conference takes place in just over a week on August 18-22nd in Denver, Colorado. For those of you who plan to attend,...
When hearing the word “talc,” many people tend to associate the mineral with baby powder. But talc has a plethora of uses and applications that many overlook. Talc is best described as a clay mineral that is composed of magnesium, silicon, oxygen, and hydrogen—often...
In 2021, LECO announced the exciting news they were in search of a collaborator to elevate or expand upon the GC-MS analytical technique with our advanced tools. The next year, it was announced that Dr. Petr Vozka of Cal State University, LA would be the collaborator...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
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. Dr. Perrault Uptmor is an Assistant...
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...
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...
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...
