Mobile Metal Analyzers
SPECTROPORT LIBS
When metals measurement matters: Get fast identification, on the spot
Overview
- Truly portable – advanced LIBS based OES performance in a compact, field-ready design, bridging the gap between handheld and mobile devices
- Full alloy identification, including carbon, phosphorus, and sulfur – delivered within just 2-6 seconds, beyond handheld XRF and LIBS capabilities
- Ready in minutes, efficient all day – iCAL 2.0 single sample standardization, minimal argon use, and self-adjusting main body optics for stable field operation
When testing the elemental makeup of metals in the field or at the worksite, mistakes matter. An alloy ID error at pipeline or shipping dock can miss a bad weld, require a batch rework, or trigger a lost contract.
Example: accurate measurements of carbon (C) are critical to identifying many low‑alloy steels. But handheld XRF instruments can't detect carbon. And while handheld LIBS analyzers can extend elemental coverage beyond XRF limits in some cases, their ability to measure light elements remains restricted — handling carbon only partially, and phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) typically not at all.
The SPECTROPORT LIBS portable metals analyzer has no such limitations. It delivers reliable, on-site identification and concentration of these three key light elements, and more.
SPECTROPORT LIBS — The Portable Laser‑Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) Metals Analyzer
The revolutionary SPECTROPORT LIBS analyzer represents the missing link in portable metals analyses.
Based on LIBS technology — a type of optical emissions spectroscopy (OES) — its unique split-body design enables it to surpass the performance of handheld XRF analyzers, and even most newer LIBS handheld instruments. So it provides accurate identification, verification, and determination of concentrations of most alloys, rapidly and reliably, right on the spot.
Predefined calibration packages and a SPECTRO-exclusive iCAL 2.0 diagnostics software eliminate repeated standardizations and delays. Perform a single-sample standardization (less than 5 minutes) at the start of testing, and you’re set for the day. Your iCAL 2.0 diagnostics ensure stable performance throughout a typical day — regardless of most temperature shifts!
SPECTROPORT LIBS can be configured for utmost transportability with two replaceable batteries, an ultra-light argon cartridge, all mounted in the instrument body and a wheeled carrying case. And with the built-in display, the user can run the instrument from the probe and view fast results at the point of measurement.
