Metal analyzer SPECTROPORT LIBS

portablefor aeronauticsXRF

Overview
The SPECTROPORT LIBS portable metals analyzer is a Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) based optical emission spectroscopy (OES) system for rapid, on-site alloy identification and quantitative analysis. It provides elemental results for light elements such as carbon (C), phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) — capabilities often not available with handheld XRF — and supports full alloy identification in seconds.

Key features

• Truly portable — LIBS-based OES performance in a compact split-body, field-ready design that bridges handheld and mobile analyzers.
• Full alloy identification including light elements — results delivered within 2–6 seconds depending on mode and sample.
• Fast setup and stable operation — SPECTRO iCAL 2.0 single-sample standardization, minimal argon consumption, and self-adjusting main-body optics for reliable field use.

Product description
The SPECTROPORT LIBS combines a split-body architecture with advanced diagnostics to deliver laboratory-grade LIBS capabilities in a portable instrument. It enables accurate identification, verification and concentration determination of most alloys directly at the measurement point, improving decision speed and traceability on site.

iCAL 2.0 Standardization
Predefined calibration packages together with SPECTRO iCAL 2.0 diagnostics reduce repeated standardizations. A single-sample standardization (typically under 5 minutes) is sufficient for day-long operation, with diagnostics compensating for typical ambient temperature variations.

Maximum Mobility
Configurable for transport with two replaceable batteries, an ultra-light argon cartridge mounted in the instrument body, and an optional wheeled carrying case. A built-in display and probe operation allow results to be viewed at the measurement point.

Use cases & benefits
Designed for field and worksite metal testing where rapid, on-site alloy identification and light-element detection are required. Typical applications include pipeline inspection, shipping and receiving, fabrication sites, recycling, metal production and mobile quality control.
