COMPANY PROFILE

In 1936, the Laboratory Equipment Company introduced the first rapid carbon determinator to the American iron and steel industry. Today, 75 years later, LECO® has emerged as a worldwide leader in the development of high-quality analytical instrumentation, with four diverse product lines covering five markets.

Our broad selection of innovative instrumentation incorporates trendsetting automation, easy-to-use software, and the latest automated technologies into ergonomic designs. This results in instruments that increase productivity by achieving a level of throughput that was once unobtainable for many lab managers. Fast, accurate results, combined with the use of liquid/solid autoloaders and user-friendly software, make LECO instruments ideal for the life science market, including metabolomic, pharmaceutical, and toxicology applications.
