Our mission as your innovative partner is to deliver excellent instrument solutions that help generating reliable data from sample analysis and expertly address your analytical challenges when it comes to the analysis of soil, biomass, and biochar.
 

Make smarter decisions

There are two recognized methods for determining the nitrogen content in a sample, which have coexisted for over 140 years: Nitrogen determination according to Kjeldahl and nitrogen determination according to Dumas. We give insights about the development of the methods, their advantages and disadvantages and compare them in terms of analysis time, cost per analysis and safety.

The emergence of chemical recycling methods that turn plastic waste back into oil represents an important breakthrough to battle the plastic waste problem. However recycled oil (often termed pyrolysis oil) has slightly different properties than fossil crude oil. High concentrations of heteroatoms in recycled feedstock are undesirable, since they can poison the catalysts or cause corrosion in refinery equipment. To make sure that the recycled oil is compatible to be further processed its carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur (CHNOS) contents need to be measured.

The quality requirements for workpieces are particularly high,  just like the efficiency pressure. What counts is timely and accurate metal identification that does not delay the process. The analysis directly in the manufacturing process makes rapid further processing of bar stock, blanks, or semi-finished products made of metallic materials possible. Metal analysis with  intuitive operation guarantees reliable metal analyses after a short instruction, on-site wherever needed.

Upgrade your metal analysis

Nitrogen and protein determination is an essential step in the development and production of food products. But time-consuming sample preparation, long analysis procedures, difficult to handle instruments, and tedious maintenance work can be a real bottleneck in nitrogen and protein analysis. It doesn't have to be that way! Grow your food business with our analytical solutions. Let our Dumas combustion analyzers bring your nitrogen and protein analysis to the next level, supporting process optimization and growth of your business.

Level up your food production

When it comes to accurately measuring total organic carbon, our mission is to make your working life easier. We asked more than 1,000 laboratory employees about their challenges in environmental and wastewater analysis. Using user-unfriendly and inefficient technology leads to measurement inaccuracy, instrument failures or increased workloads that make the working day-to-day a challenge. Our mission is to change that. The result: Our TOC mission!

Looking for an easier way to analyze ¹⁵N and ¹⁸O of dissolved nitrate? Do you spend large amounts of time preparing and growing Pseudomonas aureofaciens? Fed up of completing risk assessments when you are trying to purchase or dispose of dangerous chemicals? Maybe the idea of dealing with these problems has dissuaded you from starting to analyze ¹⁵N and ¹⁸O of dissolved nitrate altogether? Now you have another option. Discover the quick and safe Titanium (III) reduction of nitrate and learn what it could mean for the future of nitrate isotope analysis.
