What is Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)?

As the name suggests, the LIBS method is based on laser light and works by pulsing a high-energy laser onto a material to release ionized plasma, which can then be measured and identified based on the plasma’s signature.

The major advantage of LIBS is the size of the equipment, which in our new products is handheld and very easy to use.

The equipment is primarily used for sorting tasks. In addition, the analysis can be used to verify the chemical composition of items or components where cutting out a sample is not allowed or is impractical.
