How It Works?
Vulcan Expert features a high-powered laser that vaporizes the metal being analyzed to close to 10,000 degrees Celsius, producing a plasma. The burn mark is so small on the surface of the metal that it looks like a minuscule scratch and is barely visible. When completing an analysis, typically less than one billionth of a gram of material is used. Since Vulcan Expert uses such a small amount of material in its analysis, you can even check finished metal goods for quality assurance and quality control purposes

Vulcan Expert was designed with comfort in mind. It is both ergonomic and balanced for easy gripping. Globally, it is the lightest Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) tool, so when used for prolonged periods it still feels comfortable and easy to operate.
