SciAps X-ray and LIBS handheld elemental analyzers
SciAps breakthrough instruments are expanding applications for portable, in-field measurements of elements, minerals and compounds in every major industry around the world. See for yourself at Pittcon, March 8-12.
An amazing world of applications available to handheld LIBS and XRF
SciAps, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of handheld XRF and LIBS analyzers, able to measure virtually every element, in almost any material. These breakthrough instruments have been expanding applications for portable, in-field measurements of elements, minerals and compounds in every major industry around the world. Sign up for our e-mail list to be the first to hear about this expanding world of handheld analysis.
New release: SciAps, Inc., a Boston-based company specializing in handheld analytical instrumentation, is pleased to introduce their new generation SciAps Z-900 Series handheld LIBS analyzer. Similar to their new XRF platform, the Z Series 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.
Need an academic loaner? We frequently loan handheld analyzers for a few weeks or a month to academic researchers from the U.S. and Canada, so that they can perform a study or field analysis anywhere in the world. LIBS is often a preferred technique, especially for students, since operators do not have to deal with the regulatory complexities of X-ray fluorescence analyzers. And our accompanying ProfileBuilder software provides operators complete freedom to modify parameters. You’re not limited to factory-imposed calibrations or unchangeable multi-variant techniques. Contact us with a brief description of what you want to measure.
Make better decisions, faster, with the world’s premium handheld XRF for geochemistry analysis . Weighing just 2.8 lbs. (1.3 kg) with battery, SciAps X-550 is GPS enabled, and more rugged, intuitive and capable than ever. Read the press release. Add handheld LIBS for a complementary data set on in-field analysis of Li, Be, B, C, Na and F; microanalysis of rocks, veins, inclusions; and more.
