Trace Elemental Instruments designs, develops, and manufactures elemental combustion analyzers and autosamplers for laboratories in the industrial, petrochemical, environmental, and academic sectors. Our instruments deliver high-precision analysis of Total Nitrogen, Total Sulfur, Total Chlorine, and more, across liquid, solid, and gaseous samples. Founded in 2009, we operate from our headquarters in Delft, The Netherlands, where we house our Research & Development, Glass Manufacturing, Production, and Applications Laboratory. We also have a regional office in Houston, Texas, supporting customers throughout the Americas. With these two locations, we combine global presence with responsive, localized support. In the beginning of 2025, Trace Elemental Instruments became part of Advanced Analytical Technologies (AAT), a global group of specialized laboratory instrumentation companies. Alongside Skalar Analytical, PromoChrom Technologies, LCTech, EST Analytical, and GERSTEL, we form a collaborative network offering complementary technologies and a broader portfolio of solutions to the global lab community. Joining AAT allows us to strengthen our capabilities while continuing to focus on what we do best: combustion analysis. As part of this group, we operate under our brand name while working closely with other companies to expand our technologies, share expertise, and grow into new markets, with continued emphasis on the energy sector. At Trace Elemental Instruments, we take pride in combining deep technical expertise with practical experience. We don’t just deliver instruments, we help laboratories solve real-world challenges through tailored applications, smart engineering, and dedicated service.
