Trace Elemental Instruments designs, develops, manufactures, markets, sells, and supports a wide range of laboratory equipment for industrial, petrochemical, and environmental applications. Established in 2009, the company is located in Delft, The Netherlands, at the former manufacturing site of Euroglas B.V., Thermo Euroglas, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. After Thermo Fisher’s move to Cambridge, former R&D employees founded TE Instruments as an independent company, building on the legacy of innovation and expertise.
As a young and rapidly growing company, Trace Elemental Instruments combines the experience of former Euroglas and Thermo Fisher employees with the fresh perspectives of highly qualified young talent. We are proud to have an in-house Research & Development team, a Glass Manufacturing Facility, and a dedicated Production section. Our laboratory is actively involved in developing customer applications and delivering tailored solutions.
We have introduced a comprehensive range of combustion analyzers and accessories designed to handle all types of samples, following ASTM and other international standards. In addition to combustion analyzers, we offer a variety of complementary sample introduction and pre-treatment systems. Our cutting-edge fifth-generation combustion analyzers set new industry standards with their innovative technology.
