“swimMING AHEAD!” Innovative on-line measuring technology
Dear water enthusiasts,
ladies and gentlemen,
25 years of LAR means 25 years of swimming ahead. The name of LAR represents state-of-the-art “made in

means of in-depth discussions.
For you, for ourselves and our environment.
25 years of LAR stands for numerous successful applica-
tions in the fields of water analysis, monitoring of surface
water and de-icing waters at airports, recycling of indus-
trial waste water or controlling and optimising industrial
and municipal waste water treatment plants.
In addition, 25 years of LAR also means a lot of histo-
ry and stories each individual member of our staff can
tell. I can thus proudly point out our having succeeded
in pushing water analysis without the use of hazardous
chemicals, which sets LAR apart from our competitors.

Absolutely

element
LAR has been based in Berlin for 25 years and has surfaced with
high-grade analysers worldwide in that time.
The source of all our activities was a research project at
the Technical University of Berlin. As a classical spin-off,
we got our “swimming licence” 25 years ago and have
since then committed ourselves to the continual develop-
ment of new and innovative methods.
Working at LAR means lifelong learning. Our team
has kept its curiosity and love for water. Ideas can bubble
forth without any restraints and we are happy to also re-
ceive suggestions and individual requests from our cus-
tomers. Our cooperation with universities at home and
abroad as well as public and private research institutes is
a clear sign of this spirit.
What is it that makes us so unique? We delve into the
quality of water and work with the greatest precision
using our specially developed high-temperature method
at 1,200 °C. We are the sole company on the market to
offer this type of analysis for each sample and maintain a
high degree of accuracy in all the parameters of measu-
rement.
