LuxION™ Chemical Intelligence Platform
From Scientific Discovery to Industrial Chemical Intelligence
Applied Spectra's LuxION™ technology platform brings together precision laser sampling, optical emission spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and intelligent data analysis to deliver comprehensive chemical information directly from materials.
At the heart of LuxION™ is Applied Spectra's patented Tandem technology, combining the complementary strengths of LIBS and LA-ICP-MS from the same laser sampling event. From major and light elements to trace elements and isotopic information, LuxION™ provides an exceptionally broad chemical view of a sample—transforming complementary photon and ion measurements into actionable chemical intelligence.
LuxION™ is a highly scalable platform, extending from advanced laboratory research to at-location analysis, failure analysis, high-speed chemical imaging, and emerging production environments.
