Frequently Asked Questions

The ELANIK handheld LIBS analyzer is used for express elemental analysis of metals and alloys outside of a laboratory setting. It can be used for tasks such as incoming inspection of components and materials, in-process welding and fabrication, precise sorting in warehouses, and in-field analysis of building structures and pipelines.

The ELANIK handheld LIBS analyzer has low limits of detection for light elements including carbon, beryllium, and magnesium. It does not use X-rays, eliminating the ionizing radiation hazard. It operates without the need for an inert gas or other consumables. The device also has automated metal base selection and its own well-developed analytics for LIBS. It is easy to use and does not require knowledge of spectroscopy. Additionally, it can perform chemical analysis in small surface spots and on the smallest components.

The ELANIK handheld LIBS analyzer is portable and quick to use. It is the only portable analyzer in the world capable of measuring carbon in steels in the air simultaneously with other elements with only a few hundredths of a percent error, without using inert gas and other consumables. It does not require a license due to the absence of X-rays. It can perform multi-element quantitative analysis, measuring elements from lithium to bismuth, including carbon in steels and cast iron.

Laser-Export has 30 years of experience in the development, production, and selling of lasers. Since 1992, they have supplied almost 50,000 lasers of their own production to 42 countries, mainly the USA, Germany, France, and Japan. Their knowledge and experience in optics, electronics, spectroscopy, and project management have allowed them to create a device with unparalleled abilities in a short amount of time.

The ELANIK handheld LIBS analyzer has various applications. It can be used for measurement of elements from lithium to bismuth, including carbon in steels and cast iron. It is suitable for positive material identification (PMI) in tasks such as input control, warehouse management, production processes, and field analysis of pipelines, building constructions, and workshops. It can also be used for metal and alloy sorting in scrap recycling and for calculating carbon equivalent during welding and heat treatment.
