SciAps Z-903 LIBS Analyzer for sale

Every element in the periodic table, in seconds, in a handheld.

One analyzer, every element

The Z-903 accomplishes what no other portable analyzer has done. It’s a handheld analyzer that measures every element in the periodic table of the elements – from H to U.

It uses the same powerful laser as SciAps other Z-900 models, but with an extended spectrometer range from 190 nm out to 950 nm.

The extended range allows emission lines from elements H, F, N, O, Br, Cl, Rb, Cs and S to be measured. These lines cannot be measured with the other Z-900 series analyzers.
There are other benefits to the extended range. For example, it measures a more sensitive line for lithium near 675 nm to achieve limits of detection in the 2-5 ppm range.
It also measures a more sensitive, and interference-free line for potassium (K). The more traditional potassium lines have heavy iron interference, whereas the line used by the Z-903 is free of such interference.

In use globally

The Z-903 is most widely used for mineral exploration including lithium in both hard rock and brines. It is also used in forensics, authentication, archeology and oil/gas exploration due to the wide elemental range.
Complete user control

The laser strike pattern, cleaning shots, spectrometer settings are all under user control. The analyzer includes advanced software for modifying all settings, comparing spectral data, and for generating quantitative calibration curves. The Z-903 features the same Android OS and intuitive App-driven software as all other SciAps models.

Z-903 for geochem & soils

SciAps Z-903 handheld LIBS offers two distinct features not available with handheld X-ray analyzers. First, the Z analyzes elements that X-ray cannot, including lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, fluorine, and sodium. Second, the Z performs micro-analysis in the field, something not available with any other analyzer. The laser beam is 100 um, and the Z can raster the laser in discrete increments in two dimensions. This allows for heat mapping of regions on rocks. And, the Z is generally better on low concentrations of major elements or metals including magnesium and aluminum compared to handheld XRF.
