The VERDER SCIENTIFIC Division of the VERDER Group sets standards in scientifc equipment for quality control,
research and development of solid matter. The felds of activity cover sample preparation techniques as well as
analyzing technologies.
With more than 500 employees the companies of the division develop and manufacture laboratory
instruments for sample preparation through disintegration and homogenization, for heat treatment
(physical and material stress tests), for analyzing samples through particle characterization and for
elemental analysis by combustion.
This brochure introduces four members of the VERDER SCIENTIFIC Division who successfully share
distribution channels and key markets:
CARBOLITE, ELTRA, RETSCH and RETSCH TECHNOLOGY.
The VERDER SCIENTIFIC Division and VERDER LIQUIDS Division (fuid handling and pumping solutions) are the
core business units of the family-owned Dutch VERDER Group with more than 800 employees world-wide.

Elemental
Analyzers
For more than 30 years ELTRA has been one of the
leading manufacturers of elemental analyzers.
Starting with combustion analyzers for
carbon and sulfur determination ELTRA has
extended its product range successively
with analyzers for oxygen, nitrogen and
hydrogen as well as thermogravimetric
analysis.

Elemental
Chemical elements are the basic modules of the materials and
substances surrounding us. They infuence material properties and
consequently the quality of substances.
ELTRA develops and manufactures combustion analyzers for the
reliable and rapid determination of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen,
oxygen and sulfur in solids. Determining the elemental composition
is an important factor in the quality control and development of
materials.
Thanks to tailor-made solutions for a wide range of samples and
concentrations thousands of satisfed customers worldwide are proof
of the quality and reliability of ELTRA analyzers.
The instruments are used in industries such as steel production,
mining and coal industry, construction materials and in universities
for research & development, to name just a few.

RETSCH is the world's leading manufacturer
of instruments for homogenizing laboratory
samples for analysis as well as for analyzing
the particle size of solid substances by
test sieving. The product portfolio
includes mills and crushers, sieve
shakers and test sieves as well as
assisting technologies.

Sieving
Looking back on almost a century of business experience in the
laboratory sector, RETSCH is the leading provider when it comes
to reproducible sample preparation instruments for accurate and
reliable analytical results. RETSCH offers a comprehensive range of
the most modern mills and crushers for coarse, fne and ultra-fne
size reduction of almost any material.
The choice of grinding tools and accessories not only ensures
contamination-free preparation of a wide range of materials, but
also the adaptation to the individual requirements of such different
areas of application as construction materials, metallurgy, foodstuffs,
pharmaceuticals, environment or plastics.
No matter for which analytical method ICP, AAS, NIR, XRF or many
others - RETSCH instruments provide the best sample preparation
for precise analyses.

Besides the focus on sample preparation of solids RETSCH has
developed a core competence in developing and manufacturing
instruments for particle characterization.
RETSCH sieve shakers, test sieves and evaluation software
provide the key to easy, rapid, reproducible and, above all,
accurate analyses.
RETSCH offers the most comprehensive range of sieving
machines with regards to sieving motion, measuring range and
sieve diameter, thus covering virtually any bulk material from
agglomerating powders and solid rocks to grains and cereals, dry
or wet.
For decades, quality control laboratories as well as research and
development departments have trusted the reliable and proven
technology of sieve analysis.

for the characterization of size and shape
of particles based on Dynamic Image
Analysis.

Although hardly ever noticed by the end consumers, particle size
analysis is a fundamental step in quality control.
For any type of bulk materials, millions of particle size analysis
processes are carried out every day, all over the world. These
measurements not only ensure that the coffee has the same rich
taste every morning, and salt and spices are properly mixed in our
lunch menu, but also that industrial production runs smoothly and
effciently.
RETSCH TECHNOLOGY's Dynamic Image Analysers help to maintain
highest quality standards by employing a measurement principle
which is direct, faster, and more accurate than traditional particle
sizing methods.
Meaningful, statistically relevant information about the size and
shape of millions of particles can be obtained within a few minutes.
Customers are offered turnkey solutions which meet their analytical
requirements, often after individual consultation
and application sample testing at the in-house
application laboratory.
