Analysing environmental samples

Our environmental analysis spectrometers use miniature lasers to turn samples of materials such as biological tissues and soils into a plasma. The LIBS-ELITE provides real-time, high-resolution qualitative analysis of trace elements in metals, biological samples, soils, optics, semiconductors, gems and other geological, biological and environmental specimens.

Environmental research

Scientists use our lightweight and portable miniature spectrometers to measure plant growth, and assess drought and disease resistance of commercial crops and natural species. They are also used for research into marine ecosystems.

Environmental monitoring

Many instruments designed to analyse air pollution are based on our spectrometric analysis products. UVSentry* is an air monitoring system that uses an open-air detection method to identify airborne pollutants down to parts-per-trillion levels. It is used in numerous environmental applications including air quality and stack-emission monitoring, and industrial facility fence line gas detection.

Monitoring airborne toxins

The UV Hound is a portable air monitor that can simultaneously detect, quantify and identify up to twenty toxic airborne compounds. One person can easily set up the system in minutes. It can be vehicle-mounted for emergency response monitoring or in a fixed location for air-borne toxic compounds monitoring.
