Two technologies
XRF and LIBS complement each other
XRF
Fast on-site material analysis
X-ray fluorescence for alloys, precious metals, RoHS and geology. Strong on mid and heavy elements – carbon cannot be measured directly.
LIBS
When light elements matter
Laser plasma spectroscopy for carbon in steel, CEV, Li, Be, B and aluminium alloys.
OneBox
XRF + LIBS
Both methods combined – for a broader analytical application range.
