Laser induced breakdown spectrometer (LIBS)
1 064 nm | AvaLIBS Avantes

AvaLIBS is a novel-design modular system which utilises Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for the elemental characterisation of materials. The highly modular and versatile design adopted in AvaLIBS will appeal to scientists and engineers interested in developing LIBS technology for their particular application area. AvaLIBS is also well-suited for use in an academic teaching laboratory where ease of use and safety are of paramount importance.

AvaLIBS may be operated in "open-beam" mode as a Class IV laser system or fitted with one of a range of fully-interlocked modular sample chambers as a Class I laser system. In either configuration the system can be operated with the AvaLIBS Head held or mounted in any orientation offering further flexibility in the types of sample that can be analysed.

Features

- Modular and versatile design, suitable for laboratory and field applications

- High-efficiency plasma light collection optics (3 UV-Vis channels and 3 Vis-NIR channels)

- Laser options: 50 mJ 1064 nm laser (AvaLIBS-50) and 100 mJ 1064 nm laser (AvaLIBS-100)

- Gas purge feature (for connection to external inert gas supply - Argon, Nitrogen, Helium)

- Optional imaging camera for viewing the sample before, during and after LIBS analysis

- May be operated with one of a number of removable, modular sample chambers (to Class I laser safety standards) or without (Class IV "open beam" configuration)

- Optional vertical support stand with height adjustment (facilitates operation of AvaLIBS Head in vertical orientation - with or without sample chamber)

- Up to six spectrometer modules may be installed (approx. 185 - 900 nm)
