Elementar UK Ltd

Your partner for elemental and isotope analysis.

For origin tracing or authenticity testing using stable isotope analysis, instrument precision is non-negotiable. Whether you’re measuring δ¹³C or δ¹⁵N, you need to be confident in your results. Our IRMS range is manufactured in Manchester, and Elementar UK can trace its own heritage back over 80 years through the city’s long history with mass spectrometry.

Protein analysis for food and feed can be slow, costly and hazardous. But it doesn’t have to be, depending on the method you choose. Immergut, a major German dairy producer, tested the Dumas method against its outsourced Kjeldahl analyses using around 800 samples. The Dumas method met the requirements of ISO 14891, beat Kjeldahl on analytical performance, and ran at roughly a twelfth of the cost per sample. They then adopted it permanently. Our new range of N/Protein analysers use the Dumas method, and now offer longer maintenance intervals, giving time back to busy food-testing labs.

From soil carbon research to ocean nutrient cycling, reproducible data relies on precise instrumentation. Whether you're measuring CHNOS, total organic carbon (TOC) or stable isotope ratios (IRMS), Elementar instruments deliver performance that holds at the limits: low concentrations, small samples, and long runs. With 125 years in elemental analysis and instruments at two-thirds of the UK's Top 30 universities, we support research you can be proud to put your name to.

Unreliable instruments make for unreliable labs. With German-made instruments, long maintenance intervals, and a team of service engineers in the UK and Ireland, we'll help you keep the samples moving.
