Latest News and Application Notes

From May 8-12, over fifty members of LECO's global Mass Spectrometry team and international leadership filled our customer experience center in Saint Joseph, Michigan. Sales and application representatives from over 25 different countries—Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates, and more!—joined with our local research and development team to share knowledge and ideas. It was a fantastic week of collaboration as we strengthened our bonds as one LECO around the world.

With ever-increasing demands on your time and resources, optimizing your workflow is essential. Learn how state of the art instrument and software solutions come together, to enhance your one- and two-dimensional gas chromatography applications (GC-MS and GCxGC-MS) in a collection of short webinars presented on Wednesday, November 30. These webinars will be presented twice for ease of international audiences.

LECO is saddened to announce the passing of our former president, Robert J. Warren, 88, of St. Joseph, Michigan . He passed away peacefully on April 23, 2022, at home, surrounded by family and friends.

LECO Corporation wants to know what you can do with a benchtop GC-MS. As a result, the company will add a Pegasus^® BT—at no cost—to one lucky laboratory.

Efficiency. Accuracy. Speed. Precision.  Since 1936, LECO has been dedicated to finding solutions, whether that meant inventing something completely new or solving supply chain issues during times of war. Our story begins with three brothers-in-law and their determination to improve determination.

Over 300 racers participated in this year’s Fit 4 Fall “Stay Safe” Virtual 5K run/walk event held in October. Despite all of the COVID-19 changes and precautions, a new record was set for individual donations, and over $3,000 was donated to each of three chosen charities: Caring Circle, LOGAN Autism Learning Center of Southwest Michigan, and The Great Lakes Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association.

The international language of standards allows us to communicate our quality in a way any scientist can understand: with proven, reliable, and repeatable results.
