Application Laboratories

Application Lab Information

Services from our application laboratories build confidence in your LECO instrument before you purchase it. The best way to ensure you are purchasing the right instrumentation is to try it out on your samples before you buy it, and our sample submission program makes it easy to do just that.

Contact and submit your samples to your sales representative and our laboratory scientist will perform an analysis using the instruments and conditions you request. You'll know exactly how our instruments will respond to your analysis, making your purchasing decisions a little easier. Our laboratory services are also available after the sale should you ever have technical application questions or need assistance in perfecting an analysis. Since LECO's laboratory services are available exclusively to current and potential LECO customers, you can be certain your analysis is given complete attention by our experts.
