Advances in Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Multiple Sample Types
Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and time-resolved two-dimensional LIBS have been applied as quantitative and qualitative analytical methods for multiple materials and matrices, from animal tissue, to archeological ceramics, to dairy products, to zeolite composition. We were recently able to interview Professor Jorge O. Cáceres, the Director of the Laser Chemistry Group in the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, in Spain, who is working with LIBS for new method development. He recently spoke to us about his most recent LIBS research.

The all new NanoRam®-1064 from B&W Tek is a handheld Raman analyzer for nondestructive raw material identification and verification. Utilizing the 1064nm wavelength, it minimizes fluorescence to effectively identify many more materials, even those with color. Compact and agile, the NanoRam-1064 can be used by non-technical users to rapidly identify samples in the lab, warehouse, or loading dock, helping to eliminate quarantine areas and expedite materials through the manufacturing lifecycle.
