Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a powerful technique for real-time, non-contact elemental analysis. By focusing a high-energy laser pulse on a sample, a microplasma is generated, and the emitted light is analyzed to identify the elemental composition of the material.
NanoSpectrum offers robust and customizable LIBS platforms tailored for both research laboratories and industrial production lines, supporting a wide range of material types including metals, ceramics, glass, and biological samples.
