Dedicated sensors
Our dedicated sensors
Spectral offers the service to jointly develop unique LIBS-based chemical detection solutions, custom made according to customer requirements. Spectral is dedicated to co-operate in the entire process starting with a feasibility study up to series production of LIBS sensor units. Currently, we have such joint development projects running with customers in mining equipment and sorting equipment for recycling. We are capable of delivering single LIBS sensor systems but our manufacturing partner also allows for delivery of hundreds of LIBS sensor systems per year.
The benefits of LIBS
Versatile for any sample
LIBS works seamlessly with solids, liquids, and gases, making it more versatile than techniques like ICP-OES or arc/spark emission, which are limited to specific sample types.
Fast, full-range analysis
With speeds exceeding 100 measurements per second, LIBS delivers rapid elemental composition results and detects all elements, including light ones like boron and lithium, often missed by XRF or similar methods.
Cost-effective operation
LIBS generates plasma in open air, removing the need for expensive consumables like argon, which are required for ICP instrumentation, making it a more economical solution.
Remote measurement ready
Using telescopes or fiber optics, LIBS can analyze samples from a distance, allowing safe and efficient monitoring in hard-to-reach or hazardous environments like metal furnaces or waste sites.
Prep-free, detailed mapping
LIBS requires no sample preparation and offers precise surface mapping and depth profiling with adjustable laser spot sizes, enabling detailed analysis without altering the sample.
