Each instrument below pairs a clear description of what it measures with the industries it most commonly supports. Pricing is available upon request.
Sample Preparation
Sample Prep · Drying & Crushing. Hydrogen peroxide pre-treatment, crushing by mortar and pestle or ball mill, and oven drying to prepare sediment and soil samples for analysis. 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.
