Sciaps Z-903 LIBS Handheld Analyzer: Unmatched Precision in Portable Elemental Analysis

The Sciaps Z-903 LIBS Handheld Analyzer stands as the world’s only handheld device offering elemental micro-analysis directly in the field. With the ability to set up a raster grid using a 100 µm laser spot size, it provides exceptional point-by-point elemental heat mapping. For bulk samples, the analyzer can average results across raster locations, delivering comprehensive data similar to handheld XRF analysis.

One Analyzer, Every Element

Sciaps Z-903 LIBS Handheld Analyzer  achieves what no other portable analyzer has done: it measures every element in the periodic table, from hydrogen (H) to uranium (U).

• Equipped with the same powerful laser as other Sciaps Z-900 models, the Z-903 features an extended spectrometer range of 190 nm to 950 nm.
• This extended range enables measurement of emission lines for critical elements such as hydrogen (H), fluorine (F), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), bromine (Br), chlorine (Cl), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and sulfur (S), which are beyond the reach of other Z-900 series analyzers.
• Enhanced sensitivity for elements such as lithium (Li) near 675 nm ensures detection limits in the 2-5 ppm range.
• Interference-free measurement of potassium (K) eliminates the challenges posed by heavy iron interference in traditional lines.

Complete User Control

The Z-903 offers unparalleled control over its laser strike patterns, cleaning shots, and spectrometer settings. With advanced software, users can modify settings, compare spectral data, and generate quantitative calibration curves.

• Features the same intuitive Android OS and App-driven software as other SciAps models.
• Includes tools for seamless customization and integration into various analytical workflows.

Global Applications

The Z-903’s wide elemental range makes it indispensable across industries and research fields:

• Mineral Exploration: Frequently used for lithium detection in both hard rock and brines.
• Forensics & Authentication: Ideal for critical investigations requiring precise elemental data.
• Archaeology: Essential for material composition analysis of historical artifacts.
• Oil & Gas Exploration: Widely adopted for its broad elemental capabilities.
