Inorganic Elemental Analysis
For metals, alloys, ores, ceramics, and other inorganic materials, LECO consumables support high‑temperature combustion and thermal extraction workflows. These consumables are engineered to withstand extreme conditions while enabling reliable detection of carbon, sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and more.
Typical inorganic consumables include:
- Combustion and fusion crucibles
- Accelerators and combustion aids
- Filters, reagents, and tube components
Used in industries such as metals production, mining, cement, and materials research.

Organic Elemental Analysis
For organic materials like fuels, foods, agricultural products, polymers, and pharmaceuticals, LECO consumables support controlled combustion methods required for organic CHN and related analyses.
Typical organic consumables include:
- Tin, silver, and other specialty capsules
- Combustion and reduction reagents
- Traps and absorption materials
These consumables help ensure consistency when analyzing samples with varying compositions and matrices.

Metallography & Hardness Testing
LECO metallography and hardness testing consumables support every step of sample preparation—from initial material removal to final surface finishing—helping deliver reliable microstructural analysis and repeatable hardness measurements.
Common metallography consumables include:
- Lubricants and accessories
- Grinding papers and discs
- Polishing cloths and suspensions
Designed to work with LECO preparation systems and hardness testers, these consumables help reduce preparation variability and improve result consistency across operators and batches.

Separation Science
LECO separation science consumables support gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and related techniques, helping laboratories maintain stable system performance and clean, interpretable data.
Typical GC-MS consumables include:
- Columns and liners
- Syringes and vials
- Accessories supporting injection and transfer
Used across environmental, food, chemical, and research laboratories, LECO consumables help maintain consistency while minimizing downtime and troubleshooting.

Certified Reference Materials
LECO reference materials support calibration, verification, and quality control in elemental analysis workflows. Unlike routine consumables, reference materials are used to confirm system accuracy and support method validation.
Reference materials are commonly used to:
- Verify instrument performance
- Support quality assurance programs
- Align with recognized industry methods and standards
Available reference materials span a range of matrices and concentration levels, helping laboratories maintain confidence in results over time.
