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
