HANDHELD XRF/LIBS ANALYZER

Handheld XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) and LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) analyzers are portable devices used for rapid, non-destructive elemental analysis of materials. These instruments allow for on-site testing without sample preparation, providing immediate compositional data.

Key Features

Portability: Lightweight design for field use
Non-destructive testing: Minimal to no damage to analyzed materials
Rapid analysis: Results in seconds to minutes
Multi-element detection: Identifies and quantifies numerous elements simultaneously
Data storage: Onboard memory for test results
Connectivity: Wireless data transfer capabilities

Applications

Alloy identification in manufacturing and recycling
Mining and geology for ore grade control
Environmental testing for soil and water contaminants
Art and archaeology for authentication and conservation
Quality control in manufacturing processes
Regulatory compliance for hazardous substances
