Handheld LIBS Analysers

Your ultimate solution for accurate & fast elemental analysis

In today’s competitive industries, from scrap metal recycling to petrochemicals, having quick, precise testing of materials on-site is more important than ever.

Without the right tools, you risk costly mistakes, delays, and missed opportunities.

That’s where our range of handheld Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) analysers comes in.

Handheld LIBS Analyser

Why Choose Handheld LIBS Analysers?

When you don’t have access to advanced, portable analytical tools, you’re stuck with slow, traditional testing methods that can hamper your operations.

Slow Testing Processes

Delayed analysis can lead to operational slowdowns, missed opportunities, and lower productivity

High Risk of Data Inaccuracies

Using outdated tools can result in inconsistent data, causing costly errors and compliance issues

Destructive Testing Methods

Conventional methods can damage or destroy valuable samples, limiting further analysis.

Smart data, anywhere, anytime with LIBS analysers

Ultra-Fast Measurements

Perform elemental analysis in just seconds, not hours. With handheld LIBS analysers, you can conduct rapid, on-the-spot testing without waiting for lab results, allowing you to make quick and informed decisions

Exceptional Accuracy

Benefit from precise, real-time results that ensure high-quality data and enhance your confidence in decision-making. Identify and quantify elements with low detection limits down to the parts-per-million (PPM) range.

Sample Preparation-Free Analysis

Eliminate the need for extensive sample preparation, saving both time and resources. Handheld LIBS analysers allow you to test a wide range of materials, including metals, alloys, plastics, and more, without any pre-treatment.

Comprehensive Elemental Coverage

Analyse light elements such as hydrogen, lithium, and carbon, which are often challenging to detect with other technologies. Handheld LIBS analysers provide broad elemental coverage, from light elements to heavy metals.

How does LIBS technology work?

Laser Pulse Emission

A focused laser pulse ablates a small volume of the sample, forming a high-temperature plasma.

Light Emission

As the plasma cools, the excited atoms and ions emit light at specific wavelengths, creating a spectral "fingerprint" unique to each element.

Spectral Detection & Analysis

The emitted light is collected by a spectrometer and processed by advanced software, enabling both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the sample.
