Niton™Apollo
Engineered to help conquer your toughest analytical challenges, the Niton Apollo specialises in measuring carbon content in a convenient, portable form factor.
Your ultimate solution for accurate & fast elemental analysis
In today’s competitive industries, from scrap metal recycling to petrochemicals, having quick, precise testing of materials on-site is more important than ever.
Without the right tools, you risk costly mistakes, delays, and missed opportunities.
That’s where our range of handheld Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) analysers comes in.
Why Choose Handheld LIBS Analysers?
When you don’t have access to advanced, portable analytical tools, you’re stuck with slow, traditional testing methods that can hamper your operations.
Slow Testing Processes
Delayed analysis can lead to operational slowdowns, missed opportunities, and lower productivity
High Risk of Data Inaccuracies
Using outdated tools can result in inconsistent data, causing costly errors and compliance issues
Destructive Testing Methods
Conventional methods can damage or destroy valuable samples, limiting further analysis.
Smart data, anywhere, anytime with LIBS analysers
Ultra-Fast Measurements
Perform elemental analysis in just seconds, not hours. With handheld LIBS analysers, you can conduct rapid, on-the-spot testing without waiting for lab results, allowing you to make quick and informed decisions
Exceptional Accuracy
Benefit from precise, real-time results that ensure high-quality data and enhance your confidence in decision-making. Identify and quantify elements with low detection limits down to the parts-per-million (PPM) range.
Sample Preparation-Free Analysis
Eliminate the need for extensive sample preparation, saving both time and resources. Handheld LIBS analysers allow you to test a wide range of materials, including metals, alloys, plastics, and more, without any pre-treatment.
Comprehensive Elemental Coverage
Analyse light elements such as hydrogen, lithium, and carbon, which are often challenging to detect with other technologies. Handheld LIBS analysers provide broad elemental coverage, from light elements to heavy metals.
How does LIBS technology work?
Laser Pulse Emission
A focused laser pulse ablates a small volume of the sample, forming a high-temperature plasma.
Light Emission
As the plasma cools, the excited atoms and ions emit light at specific wavelengths, creating a spectral "fingerprint" unique to each element.
Spectral Detection & Analysis
The emitted light is collected by a spectrometer and processed by advanced software, enabling both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the sample.
