Product name: J200

Tandem LIBS-LA Instrument - LA system for LA-ICP-MS, LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) Instrument

New this year: The J200 Tandem enables simultaneous LA-ICP-MS and LIBS

Special Features: Uses laser ablation to enable direct solid sample analysis by generating tiny particles from your samples and transporting them to your ICP-MS instrument. The J200 Tandem uses the same laser ablation to produce a tiny micro-plasma and to capture emitted light for emission spectroscopic analysis. This tandem LA – LIBS capability enables the ability to measure specific isotopes and simultaneously obtain quantitative or qualitative analysis of major, minor and trace elements.

Compatible with quadrupole-, TOF-, and ICP-MS instruments from major manufacturers.

Suggested applications: Major/minor & trace elemental analysis for metal, mining, forensic, nuclear, & environmental industries, Isotopic analysis for geochemistry application.

Primary benefits: High precision ICP-MS isotopic measurement, concentration range from percent down to ppb, organic and lighter elements, sampling methods include bulk, inclusion, depth profiling, and elemental mapping

Unique features: Simultaneous LA-ICP-MS and LIBS measurement capability
