Handheld Metal Analyzer



Rigaku Analytical Devices, provider of handheld and portable spectroscopic analyzers, offers its newest handheld analyzer for metal alloy analysis. "The Rigaku KT-100S laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) handheld analyzer provides an alternative for identification of a larger number of alloys in less than two seconds, in a ruggedized form factor for use in tough environments," said a company spokesperson.

 The KT-100S handheld LIBS metal analyzer is designed to provide on-the-spot identification of difficult alloys, including aluminum grades, with lower detection limits and the ability to analyze more alloys. This includes upgraded precision for low alloy steels, stainless steels, as well as high temperature alloys and the added detection of lithium (Li). "In addition, the KT-100S analyzer offers unique auto surface preparation with its Drill-Down feature and is considerably smaller and lighter than other handheld LIBS analyzer currently available," said the spokesperson.

 "Another major benefit to the user is that because the KT Series of handheld LIBS analyzers utilizes a laser excitation source, there is minimal to no regulatory licensing requirements," added the spokesperson. 

The KT-100S handheld LIBS analyzer is designed to be an analytical tool for use in fabrication shops, plant environments and scrap metal yards because of its MIL-STD 810G drop-test certification and IP-54 dust protection rating.
