The Z features a sample detection system that yields the safety of Class 1 conditions. If there’s no sample present, the laser will not fire a single pulse, meaning no stray laser light fired into empty space.
If a sample is removed during testing, the laser immediately stops firing once the sample is ¼” or more away from the window.
Because the Z will not fire into empty space, it may be operated under Class 1 conditions, with proper training (ANSI Z136.1). Thus, the Z provides the analytical advantages of a 3b laser in a device that may be operated in Class 1 conditions.
This safety benefit is only achievable with a milli-joule, low-repetition-rate laser. High-rep-rate class 3b lasers, like those featured in other LIBS devices, cannot operate with this safety mode.
The Z-900 Series uses a patented stack-spectrometer design that delivers wide wavelength range and high resolution - superior to any other handheld LIBS.
Depending on your application, SciAps 900 Series can be purchased with 1-3 spectrometers. The 3-spectrometer Z-903 range is 190 nm – 950 nm.
In addition to the elements measured by the Z-902, this wider wavelength range also measures H, F, Br, Cl, N, O, S, Rb, Cs, and K.
The SciAps Z-Series uses a virtually impenetrable “tough as Pyrex” quartz window.
Because LIBS technology collects light in the visible and ultraviolet spectral region, rather than x-ray, a durable, thick window may be used so long as it’s transparent to visible and UV light. Light traverses this quartz window into a well-protected spectrometer.
The key to good LIBS analysis is creating a good plasma. The best plasma’s come from the highest power densities on the sample.
The Z’s PULSAR laser technology fires laser pulses in the 5-6 mJ/pulse range, at up to 50 Hz frequencies, with 1 ns wide pulses. It is well established that mJoule, rather than micro-joule, laser pulses yield superior analytical results.
The SciAps Z-900 Series offers dual cameras. Images are automatically saved with results for photo-documentation. And, the Android platform enables sharing of the data and high-resolution images when collaborating with colleagues or reporting results.
The Z monitors time and internal temperature, and automatically institutes a calibration as needed. This means no cal-check samples to carry around (and lose or get dirty).
This reduces the likelihood of operator error by automating the calibration procedure.
SciAps Z Series is built on Google’s Android platform for compatibility and connectivity to smart phones, tablets and other devices via the Android SHARE feature.
It’s also available with cloud-based data sharing, data merging between multiple instrument platforms, and report generation that eliminates the tedious process of downloading and importing data.
The powerful processor offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communications, and GPS is enabled.
The newly designed Z uses much less power, and lasts 6+ hours on a single, lightweight battery. Plug in the AC adapter to recharge and power the analyzer.
External battery charger and spare battery included.
