Modèles d’analyseur SciAps LIBS

We offers four differents hardware platforms with our handheld LIBS analyzers.

From sophisticated analysis of ultra-low elemental concentrations in alloys, ores, brines and powders, to basic material or scrap sorting, we offers a specific model for your application.

Z-901

The Z-901 features an all-new ergonomic design, a 0.5 lb. weight reduction down to about 3.5 lbs. (1.6 kg), improved heat dissipation, and completely updated software and processing electronics. The Z-901 also leads the way featuring the first-ever “dual burn” technology. Users can test with the 901 either using an “air burn” method or using argon-purge for applications requiring higher precision and lower limits of detection. The Z-901 uses a single spectrometer to cover the wavelength range of 200 – 440 nm. It is factory calibrated for a suite of 15-20 elements, depending on the application. Or operators may use the accompanying ProfileBuilder software package to customize to specific elements, their own calibration standards, and spectral processing. The Z-901 can be setup to measure the emissions of any element EXCEPT Li, Na, H, C, N, O, Cl, Br, F, Ce, Rb, S. Common factory-calibrated applications include alloy, mining and environmental analysis, typically for beryllium in soil.

Z-901 CSi

The “CSi” is a dedicated unit for measuring carbon and silicon in steels and stainless. It is the ideal tool if you own handheld XRF units and want to continue to use those for measuring common alloy elements such as Cr, V, Mn, Ni, Cu, Mo, Nb, etc. but need the occasional carbon and/or silicon measurement. The CSi opens up a very cost-effective option for many NDT professionals that have older XRF units and may only want to add in C and Si measurements in order to determine carbon equivalents (CE), verify L versus H-grade stainless or include a carbon measurement with low RE steels.

Z-902 C

The Z-902 “C” is a dedicated NDT/PMI analyzer for carbon content and a wide range of alloys and alloy bases. It features 2 spectrometers (instead of one in the 901) to extend the spectral range down to 190 nm with high resolution, specifically to measure carbon content in steels, stainless and other alloys. The Z-902 is the analyzer of choice globally for the measuring carbon content in alloys, and carbon equivalents. It is also factory calibrated for a suite of 15-20 elements in 7 common alloy bases: aluminum, steel, stainless, nickel, cobalt, titanium and copper bases. Additional bases or calibrations may be added by the factory or the user.

Z-903

Analyzes every element in the periodic table. The Z-903 is the LIBS of choice for applications in geochem, mining, oil & gas. It is our 3-spectrometer system, spanning a wavelength range of 190 nm – 950 nm. This range allows for the entire periodic table to be analyzed including critical elements such as S, H, the halogens and others. Like the other Z, the Z-903 is factory calibrated for specific applications in mining and environmental applications. Examples include lithium in brines and hard rock, beryllium, boron and carbon analysis, fluorine, and sodium in soils or other materials. Operators may also use the accompanying PC software to set up their own calibrations for a variety of material types – glasses, polymers, archaeological and forensics samples, and many others.

Quick Model Guide

Model Spectrometer Range (nm) Elements Measurable Applications
Z-901 200 – 440 Common elements for most applications including light elements Be, B. Excludes C, Li, Na, Air-burn and argon purge for alloy analysis, mining and environmental, general analytical studies.
Z-901 CSi 190 – 240 C and Si Dedicated to measuring C, Si in steels, stainless and (future) Ni alloys.
Z-902 Carbon 190 – 440 Elemental range of the Z-901 plus carbon. Targets carbon measurements in alloys, plus other alloy bases. Includes a high resolution spectrometer  measurement of carbon in alloys including L-grade stainless.
Z-902 + 190 – 625 Analysis of the Z-901 but extends spectral range to include Li, Na and C.  Carbon is for non-alloy applications. Extends analytical range to include Li in alloys, ores and brines, non-alloy measurement of C, and Na.  Not for carbon in steels, stainless or other alloys.
Z-903 190 – 950 Above plus H, N, O, Cl, F, Br, Ce, Rb and S. Mostly for geochem, researchers, academic institutions, forensics or specific analytical applications.  Measures emissions of every element through transuranics.

Auto Calibration

The Z monitors time and internal temperature, and automatically institutes a calibration as needed. This means no cal-check samples to carry around (and lose or get dirty). Reduces the likelihood of operator error by automating the calibration procedure.

Battery

The newly designed Z uses much less power, and lasts 6+ hours on a single, lightweight battery. Plug in the AC adapter to recharge and power the analyzer. External battery charger and spare battery included

Empirical Apps

Generate all your own calibrations using our Profile Builder software package

X-ray and laser together in “One Box”

 

The SciAps X and Z make the perfect complement for elemental analysis. The X analyzes transition and heavy metals with great precision, and is ideal for bulk sample types like alloys, soils, liquids, powders. The Z is ideal for low atomic number elements like Li, Be, B, C, Na, F even down to hydrogen. And the Z, with it’s integrated targeting camera and 100 um beam spot, is better suited for micro-analysis. The One-Box delivers optimal analysis across all elements and sample types, for bulk analysis or micro-analysis.

The X and Z also operate on the same battery, use the same charger and other accessories.

SciAps Z – Top 10 Advantages

 

 

The ONLY LIBS that offers Dual-Burn Operation

The Z features on-board argon purge for high precision analysis. Users may also run the Z in air-burn if your testing requires less precision or you have restrictions on gas canisters. 50 years of spark optical emission have proven the analytical superiority of argon purge!

 

Protect your Confidential Materials Chemistry

The Z includes desktop/tablet software allowing a user (password protected) to modify calibrations, elements analyzed, grade IDs and various spectral pre-processing. Customers can keep their proprietary materials proprietary!

 

Lightest, Fastest LIBS Analyzer

The latest Z is the lightest, fastest high performance LIBS analyzer. Perfectly balanced, you can test fatigue-free all day long. Wrist strap also included. Results shown in 1 second, full test time 3 sec.

 

No Grinding, except for Carbon

The Z uses a 50 Hz laser, firing 10 surface cleaning shots in 0.2 seconds to burn away surface contaminants, dirt, etc. The Z is the only LIBS unit proven to analyze even the dirtiest scrap without grinding.

 

Beam Rastering

The Z rasters the laser to 6 different positions and automatically averages the results. Why do this? Because LIBS lasers are typically 50 um in diameter, and testing a single location may not average out inhomogeneities even in vacuum melt alloys. Also if the laser happens to hit an inclusion or embedded contaminant, an outlying result will be averaged out over the rastering. 50 years of LIBS scientific literature tell you that rastering is a “must have.”

 

Free Software Upgrades

Software upgrades free for the life of the analyzer.

 

Customer Flexibility

Do you have specific UI or SW requests? Tell us about them. Most requests are requested by multiple customers, and we’ll always do our best to include them in a future software update.

 

On-board Camera, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS

Photo-document samples, and/or aim laser at specific area on sample if needed. WiFi/BT make for easy data transfer and connectivity. USB connections also included.

 

Vibrant Display

Brightest, largest display, easiest to read in direct sunlight.

 

Service Costs

Generally the lowest in the industry. Why?  Products are designed for rough use and low lifetime service costs. SciAps makes theirs own lasers and spectrometers, so we can repair items on a component-level.
