Over 300 racers participated in this year’s Fit 4 Fall “Stay Safe” Virtual 5K run/walk event held in October. Despite all of the COVID-19 changes and precautions, a new record was set for individual donations, and over $3,000 was donated to each of three chosen charities: Caring Circle, LOGAN Autism Learning Center of Southwest Michigan, and The Great Lakes Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association.

To accurately perform a metallographic analysis of a sample, the preparation is critical. The microstructure and hardness of your sample has to be unveiled, and you have to be able to trust that what you're seeing is what is actually there and not just something inadvertently created in the preparation stages. When it comes to metallographic preparation, you really can't skip a step.

LECO announces the addition of hydrogen analysis capabilities to the 828 series, which will transform the way users determine carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen in a variety of petrochemical and other organic materials. The CHN828 maintains the core capabilities and performance of previous generations of LECO macro combustion instruments while possessing key improvements in throughput, uptime, and reliability. By incorporating state-of-the-art hardware and an on-board touch-screen software platform with rapid analysis times, the CHN828 operates at a low cost-per-analysis and allows users to easily handle the most demanding sample applications.

When the TruMac® Macro Determinator at the Southern African Grain Laboratory (SAGL) needed to be replaced, laboratory manager Jolanda Nortjé returned to LECO for an updated solution. For the past twenty years, LECO had been providing the SAGL with excellent service support, and their TruMac and previous nitrogen analyzers had been LECO products they were very satisfied with. At the end of 2019, trusting LECO again, the SAGL purchased a LECO FP928 to replace their TruMac.

Day 4 of the GCxGC Virtual Symposium did not disappoint! The topic of Safety and Security made for another great day of presentations. The quote of the day perhaps was “I like GCxGC because it casts a very broad net on your samples when employing non-targeted analysis strategies.”
