Integrating LIBS elemental analyzer into technological processes

ECLIPSE — is an analyzer designed for high-precision and rapid determination of the elemental composition of various materials.

It is based on the method of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS).

Unlike traditional methods, LIBS does not require complex sample preparation: a laser instantly evaporates a microparticle of the sample, creating a plasma, the analysis of which provides data on the composition.

Advantages stand-off ECLIPSE:

  • Integrated specifically into your technological process
  • No sample preparation (or minimal). Less need for “wet” chemistry reduces the cost of laboratory analysis. High speed of analysis (seconds).
  • Accuracy of determining the concentration of elements down to fractions of a percent
  • Low limits of detection of elements
  • Compactness and the possibility of operation in “contaminated” environment
  • Reducing costs, minimizing defects and accelerating processes provide a quick return on investment (ROI)

We offer methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis for various bases/matrices:

  • Steel
  • Aluminum
  • Copper
  • Nickel
  • Salts
  • Other elements on request

Eclipse works with various forms and states of matte

  • Pulp
  • Concentrate
  • Foam
  • Powders
  • Ingots
  • Plates

Lab ECLIPSE for research laboratories:

  • Development of methods for qualitative and quantitative analysis
  • At the heart of the system is any — laser manufactured by SLS Prime Technology
  • Development of focusing and radiation collection systems to suit your needs
  • 3D profiling on request
  • Possibility of integration with other analytical methods

Example of adaptation for the aluminum industry:

SLS Prime Technology has developed methods for quantitative elemental analysis in aluminum alloys in accordance with GOST 3221 and GOST 7727. ECLIPSE dAl (laboratory version) and ECLIPSE mAl (stand-off version) provide rapid and accurate analysis of the chemical composition of aluminum, allowing control of metal purity, impurity levels and compliance with technological requirements at all stages of production — from raw material processing to finished product output.
