Christmas is coming! This will be the last blog article this year, before most of us start into Christmas holidays. Therefore, we want to take the opportunity to say:
Thank you for reading our ELEMENTs blog, for visiting our website, getting in touch with us and to all of you that are working with our instruments. We are more than happy to share our passion about elemental analysis with you. We wish you some nice days off with your friends and family and look forward what 2024 will bring.

Christmas is called the contemplative time of the year. A statistic from statista.com states that some people think that there are too many expectations linked to Christmas exist (27 %) and that it is a stressful time of the year (16 %). Indeed, this doesn’t mean that people don’t like Christmas – maybe it’s just because people give their 100 % to make Christmas special for their families and that could be demanding.
Focusing on the good - Christmas Riddle
Therefore, we want to spread some relaxation and joy in the pre-Christmas season – and created a small Christmas riddle for you. The riddle focuses on some of the top anticipated topics from the statistics above. Please find below pictures of the samples we measured and guess which measurement result (tables A – F) belongs to which sample. Can you guess everything right? The results can be found at the end of this page.
