Key Product Lines

1. Z-902 LIBS Analyzer The Z-902 is a handheld Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) analyzer optimized for carbon and elemental analysis in steels, stainless steels, and other alloys . Key features include:

• Detection of carbon levels as low as 70 ppm (0.007%)
• Classification of stainless steel into Low (L) and High (H) carbon grades
• Optional Carbon Equivalent (CE) calculation for weldability assessment
• Argon purge system to reduce spectral interference and improve accuracy
• Lightweight and ergonomic design (~1.97 kg) for prolonged field use
• Android-based user interface with multi-spot laser measurement to minimize surface inhomogeneity errors The Z-902 Alloy variant extends capabilities to aluminum, titanium, nickel, and cobalt alloys, with factory calibration for 15–20 elements and customizable calibration options . 2. XRF Analyzers SciAps XRF analyzers are lightweight, fast, and high-precision X-ray guns for elemental analysis . They are ideal for material sorting, environmental testing, and lead paint analysis without radioactive sources, making them safe and convenient for field use. 3. reveNIR Vis-NIR Analyzer The reveNIR is a handheld Visible-Near Infrared (Vis-NIR) spectrometer designed for mineral exploration and reconnaissance . Its features include:
• Spectral range of 350–2510 nm for detecting mineralogical transitions
• Lightweight and compact design for remote and rugged terrains
• Real-time analysis to guide drilling and exploration decisions
• Preloaded mineral spectral library with 200 key exploration minerals, with options for user additions
• High portability, suitable for helicopter or field transport
