How Do Fireworks Affect Our Lakes? A Study on Lake Michigan Water Quality Using GCxGC-HRMS
The “rockets’ red glare” may light up the night sky, but what exactly is left behind when the smoke clears? LECO tested water at a fireworks display site for environmental contaminants. The GCxGC-HRMS data revealed environmental impacts hidden within the holiday’s celebrations.
Solving the Challenge of High-Performance Polymer Analysis with GCxGC-HRTOFMS
Recently, the chemists at LECO took on the challenge of characterizing the chemical makeup of a high-performance polymer known as polyphenylene sulfide, or PPS. Using thermal desorption, pyrolysis, and HR-TOFMS, they were able to get an accurate and thorough chemical fingerprint of PPS.
From Trash to Treasure: Testing Alternatives to Whey Protein Amidst Shortage
A whey protein shortage is causing companies to have to reformulate their protein-boosted products amidst the protein craze. Testing to ensure these reformulations meet protein expectations is crucial.
Confident Identification of Battery Solvent Impurities Using Complementary GC-MS Techniques
As battery materials continue to evolve, analytical approaches must provide both high sensitivity and high confidence identification. A recent LECO application study demonstrates how combining two GC-MS platforms enables a more complete characterization of DMC impurities than either approach alone.
Sample Preparation of Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys
For quality assurance, metallography can be used to assess the porosity, grain structure, and more of an aluminum sample. By analyzing a sample, manufacturers can determine whether the aluminum will meet performance and quality expectations and resolve any issues.
Advancing Biofuel Characterization with LECO Analytical Instrumentation
Biomass feedstocks and finished fuels must be carefully analyzed to ensure quality, efficiency, and compliance with international standards. LECO analytical instrumentation supports this work through automated and highly reliable analytical technologies.
