SciAps - Model Z-902 -Handheld LIBS Analyzer
The Z-902 + 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-902 + can use on-board argon purge for high precision analysis or QuickSort for rapid material sorting or grade identification with air-burn. Depending on the element, the LIBS signal is 2x-10x higher when operating in argon purge versus air-burn. The analyzer uses two spectrometers to extend the wavelength range to 190 – 620 nm. The instrument is factory calibrated for a suite of 15-20 elements, depending on application. Or operators may use the accompanying Profile Builder software package to customize to specific elements, their own calibration standards, and spectral processing. The Z-902 + can be set up to measure the emissions of any element. Common factory-calibrated Z-902 + applications include alloy and aluminum.
Alloy: Argon-purge for high precision and improved detection limits. Many customers use argon-purge to analyze and sell mill-ready aluminum scrap.
QuickSort: Air-burn for rapid material sorting or grade identification.
The Z-902 + for alloy analysis measures 15-20 elements in 7 common alloy bases, including aluminum, stainless, iron, copper, titanium, nickel and cobalt bases. Other bases may be added for a small fee, or users may add their own calibrations.
Need to measure carbon in steels and stainless—including verifying L- and H-grade stainless? Use SciAps Z-902 Carbon, in use globally for measuring carbon and other elements in steels, stainless and nickel alloys.
Already own handheld XRF—and only need to add carbon measurements? Use Z-901 CSi, the ultra-compact analyzer that measures C and Si in steels, stainless.
