StellarCASE-LIBS Portable Instrument for Elemental Analysis
Press Release PDF
StellarNet proudly announces a new rugged and fully integrated portable Case System for elemental analysis using LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy). The StellarCASE-LIBS includes interior mounting of spectrometer instrumentation pre-configured for “Open & Measure” application, with no additional setup required. With a simple press of the “FIRE” button instantaneous Atomic Emission Spectra is collected and elemental match results are displayed on your screen.
The StellarCASE features an internal main power control system with ON, OFF, & Charge buttons. The LIBS sample chamber mounts directly into the system’s acrylic mounting surface for direct easy access and includes a safety interlock. The systems excitation source is the world’s smallest 1064nm NDYaG laser with 25mJ per pulse. Once the laser strikes your sample a PLASMA is created which will cool and emit radiation specific to the elements inside your samples. The StellarCASE comes pre-configured with spectrometer instrumentation to cover 200-800nm with 2 Angstrom optical resolution. These spectrometers capture your samples emitted light spectrum and send spectral data to the integrated tablet computer display with factory installed SpectraWiz ID™ Software providing elemental analysis.
The system incorporates a safety key lock and an 8 hour battery life for portable field applications. Also, includes AC power adapters for use in the laboratory and classroom.
