Explore insights, applications, and stories from the field using handheld XRF, LIBS, VisNIR, and portable benchtop analyzers across scrap recycling, mining, geochemistry, forensics, and more.
SciAps U.S. headquarters expands to 20,000 sq.ft. for Boston operation
LIBS, XRF, and Raman handheld instrumentation company expands its footprint for research, development, and sales
In-field carbon analysis to determine preg-robbing in gold
HH LIBS used to determine preg-robbing in gold
Pipeline industry study shows handheld SciAps LIBS can beat spark OES for carbon and CE
The gas pipeline industry and a highly reputed testing laboratory recently completed a blind study to evaluate the performance of the SciAps handheld LIBS, traditional spark OES, and filings versus the "gold standard" of laboratory analysis on cut pipe sections.
SciAps True Demo Stories, Episode 8: Weld Inspection on Sydney Harbour Bridge
HH LIBS quantifies carbon & CE, faster & lighter compared to OES, and weather is not a problem.
Handheld LIBS Applications Continue Rapid Expansion
University researchers continue to find novel applications for SciAps handheld LIBS.
Handheld Analyzer, Pipeline App OK'd for "In Ditch" Carbon, Carbon Equivalents Tests of Materials and Welds
Most major pipeline operators will now accept carbon, CE test data from the SciAps HH LIBS as an alternative to spark OES.
Wounded Warrior Project
SciAps is pleased to partner with the Wounded Warrior Project, making a donation for every X or Z analyzer sold in the U.S. and Territories.
Where's the Gold - SciAps Z300
Reduce Your Argon Footprint
SciAps HH LIBS analyzer for carbon testing uses a tiny argon cartridge. It costs pennies per test, and argon is available virtually anywhere on the planet.
Analysis of Rare Earth Elements in Uranium Using Handheld Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
In Applied Spectroscopy, Ben Manard and his Los Alamos National Laboratory colleagues use SciAps HH LIBS to quantify levels of REE in a uranium oxide matrix. Los Alamos personnel need a method to perform rapid chemical analysis in a nuclear facility.
SciAps True Demo Stories, Episode 7: Getting Into the Swing
In windy locations, the wind blows away the argon purge from spark OES, thus degrading the results. Our HH LIBS analyzer fires a pulsed laser at the material to create a plasma. With the combination of fast laser and reduced argon, wind is no problem.
ApNote: Carbon Equivalents Measurement with Handheld LIBS
The SciAps Z has demonstrated the ability to measure carbon equivalents, as well as carbon content in low alloy and carbon steels.
ApNote: Carbon Analysis in Stainless and Carbon Steels with Handheld LIBS
The SciAps Z-200 or Z-300 are handheld LIBS analyzers that now offer carbon concentration measurements in carbon steels, cast irons and stainless.
