Elementar is a German multinational manufacturer of

Heraeus, a multinational German engineering company that produced analytical instrumentation.[2] Elemental analyzers and isotope ratio mass spectrometers
are used in the fields of analytical and environmental chemistry to measure the elemental and isotopic composition of diverse materials like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, fuels, food, water, plants, soil or waste.

History

1897 – 1945

In 1897, the researcher Max Dennstedt reported a simplified method for organic elemental analysis in his publication Über Vereinfachung der organischen Elementaranalyse, making use of platinum from the

bombing raids.[14]

Since 1945

After the Second World War, the company diversified its elemental analysis products, but an extensive reorganization of the

Heraeus core business divisions in the early 1990s resulted in plans to discontinue the production of elemental analyzers. In 1995, the elemental analysis business of Heraeus was sold in a management buyout to Hans-Peter Sieper, at that time head of the Heraeus elemental analysis division.[15] Hans-Peter Sieper restructured the business under the brand name Elementar. Under his management, the company grew into a global company group with offices in the U.S., China, France, Italy, Japan, India and Australia, and operations in many other countries.[16] In 2008, Elementar acquired Isoprime Ltd., a company specialised on the construction of isotope ratio mass spectrometers (IRMS), and set the basis for entry into the market of stable isotope ratio analysis.[17][18] Following a decision in 2016 to consolidate all products under a single identity the IRMS products were re-branded from the beginning of 2017 as Elementar and Isoprime Ltd was renamed Elementar UK Ltd at the same time.[19]

Corporate structure

Elementar

Elementar is specialized in the development and production of elemental analyzers for the measurement of

sulphur, hydrogen and oxygen for product quality and purity control of food, fuels, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The production facility is located in Langenselbold, Hesse, Germany.[20]

Elementar UK (formerly known as Isoprime)

Elementar UK produces isotope ratio mass spectrometers used for stable isotope ratio measurement of

sulphur, hydrogen and oxygen in industry and academia. The production facility is located in Manchester, United Kingdom.[21] In 2013, the company was awarded The Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade (Export)
.

Customers

Elementar supplies instrumentation to manufacturing companies and service providers in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, the energy sector, food industry and agriculture.[22]
