SciAps Z-901 Portable LIBS Analyzer

Description

SciAps Z-901 Portable LIBS Analyzer

Advanced Handheld LIBS Analyzer for Carbon Detection, PMI, and Alloy Verification

The SciAps Z-901 Portable LIBS Analyzer is a high-performance handheld Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) instrument engineered for rapid elemental analysis, positive material identification (PMI), and alloy verification. Designed specifically for industrial environments, the Z-901 combines advanced laser technology, high-resolution spectroscopy, and cloud-enabled data management in a lightweight, rugged handheld platform.

Unlike conventional handheld XRF analyzers, the SciAps Z-901 can directly measure light elements such as carbon (C), lithium (Li), beryllium (Be), boron (B), and magnesium (Mg), making it an ideal solution for carbon-equivalent analysis, stainless steel sorting, and low-alloy steel verification.
