Transformational Laser Technology
Applied Spectra delivers products based on two analytical solutions: LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) and LA-ICP-MS (Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry). Both methods arise from "Laser Ablation" — a technique for removing mass from a sample using a focused laser beam.
Our LIBS and LA-ICP-MS products deliver compelling benefits over conventional chemical analysis:
- Results available in seconds, not hours or days
- Elimination of time-consuming sample preparation and harmful “sample digestion” chemical acids
- Removing vacuum requirement
- Flexible sampling methods (bulk sample analysis, depth profiling and elemental mapping)
- Powerful integrated chemometric software for elemental and molecular analysis
- Easy integration into manufacturing processes
- Best of all: No Ph.D chemist required to operate.
