Each instrument below pairs a clear description of what it measures with the industries it most commonly supports. Pricing is available upon request.

SediGraph

Grain Size · X-Ray Sedimentation. Measures fine particle-size distributions using X-ray absorption, ideal for silts and clays too fine to sieve. Industries Served: Mining, Environmental, Engineering, Agriculture, Research.

Retsch Sieving Machine

Grain Size · Sieving. A precision sieve shaker that separates coarser sediment into size fractions, giving accurate sand- and gravel-grade particle-size data. Industries Served: Mining, Engineering, Agriculture, Environmental, Pharmaceutical.

Horiba U-52 Water Quality Meter

Water Quality · Multi-Parameter. A portable multi-parameter probe measuring pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, salinity, temperature, and turbidity in the field or lab. Industries Served: Environmental, Government, Agriculture, Engineering, Research.

Calcium Carbonate Analyzer

Geochemistry · Carbonate. Quantifies calcium carbonate content in sediments and soils by measuring the reaction with acid, key for soil fertility and environmental baselines. Industries Served: Agriculture, Environmental, Mining, Pharmaceutical, Research.

Core Logging Equipment

Core · Logging & Imaging. Tools and workflows for systematically describing, photographing, and logging sediment and rock cores, including grain size, structures, and biogenic features, to produce interpreted stratigraphic logs. Industries Served: Mining, Engineering, Environmental, Government, Research.

BINDER ED-series drying oven / LOI Analyzer

Geochemistry · Organic Carbon. Quantifies organic matter and total organic carbon (TOC) in soils and sediments by measuring weight loss after controlled high-temperature combustion, key for wetland studies, land reclamation, and carbon management assessments. Industries Served: Environmental, Government, Agriculture, Conservation, Engineering, Research.
