Overview of our range of LIBS spectrometers

definition

LIBS spectrometer use laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), a form of atomic emission spectroscopy, to determine the elemental composition of materials. These instruments use a short, high-energy laser pulse to ablate a small amount of material from the sample and create a plasma. The emitted light from the plasma is then analyzed spectroscopically to identify and quantify the elements present. spectrometer a fast and versatile elemental analysis.

Advantages of LIBS spectroscopy

LIBS spectroscopy offers several advantages for elemental analysis. These include the ability to perform rapid analysis with little or no sample preparation. Furthermore, LIBS enables the analysis of solids, liquids, and gases. Another advantage is the ability to perform standoff detection, allowing measurements to be taken from a distance. Furthermore, LIBS is a low- or even non-destructive method for many applications.

functionality 

A LIBS spectrometer It typically consists of a pulsed laser, optics to focus the laser beam onto the sample, a spectrometer to decompose the emitted light into its spectral components, and a detector to measure the intensity at different wavelengths. The characteristic emission lines of the elements in the plasma allow their identification. The intensity of these lines is proportional to the concentration of the respective element in the sample.

Areas of application 

LIBS spectrometer are used in various scientific and industrial fields. These include material identification and sorting, environmental monitoring for the analysis of soil and water samples, geological analysis for determining the composition of rocks and minerals, quality control in production, and safety applications for the detection of hazardous substances.

Selection criteria

When selecting a suitable LIBS spectrometer The specific requirements of your application should be considered. These include the type of samples to be analyzed, the required spectral range, the desired sensitivity, and the need for portability. The type of laser and the software for data analysis are also relevant factors. Our experienced team offers support in selecting the optimal spectrometer for your analysis tasks.
