#Sciaps Z-902 Carbon LIBS Analyzer The world’s first handheld analyzer to deliver carbon content
The Z-902 is the analyzer of choice globally for the measuring carbon content in alloys, and carbon equivalents. It is also factory calibrated for a suite of 15-20 elements in 7 common alloy bases: aluminum, steel, stainless, nickel, cobalt, titanium and copper bases. Additional bases or calibrations may be added by the factory or the user. Similar to SciAps XRF (X-ray) platform, the (laser) series features sleek ergonomic design, a 0.5 lb. weight reduction down to about 3.5 lbs. (1.6 kg), improved heat dissipation, and completely updated software and processing electronics.
Sciaps Z-902 Carbon LIBS Analyzer
Sciaps Z-902 Carbon LIBS Analyzer is a dedicated NDT/PMI analyzer for carbon content and a wide range of alloys and alloy bases. It features 2 spectrometers (instead of one in the 901) to extend the spectral range down to 190 nm with high resolution, specifically to measure carbon content in steels, stainless and other alloys.
True portability
Only 4.35 lbs (1.97 kg) with battery and a narrow profile for accessing the tightest spaces;
an aerospace-grade aluminum body for improved performance in high ambient
temperatures; and a re-designed, Android-based user-interface all make this system the
most usable platform on the market. Wifi and Bluetooth with GPS capability to print,
email, and connect to virtually any information management system for efficient, real-
time test data and reporting.

High-purity Argon and Purge
Argon purge is essential for quantitative analysis with LIBS and OES, and for carbon it’s critical. SciAps patented Opti-Purge technique is a key component for measuring carbon accurately. Opti-Purge delivers argon exactly where it’s needed and uses about 1,000 times less argon than a spark OES, allowing for a user-replaceable canister. Operators can analyze up to 600 samples with the argon canister for most alloy testing, and 125-200 samples for carbon analysis.
High Laser Pulse Energy and Frequency
The SciAps laser delivers 5-6 mJ/pulse on the sample, with a 50 Hz repetition rate. As any user of spark OES knows, sample prep is critical for carbon analysis—a good grind and a good pre-burn are as critical for LIBS as for spark OES. SciAps high energy and high rep rate laser (50 Hz) rapidly burns off surface contamination in order to provide a good analysis.
Laser Raster
Rastering is critical for accurate carbon tests with LIBS. The Z moves the laser to 6 distinct locations and analyzes each spot for 0.5 seconds for every 3-second test. The laser is typically 50 um diameter beam. On that scale, micro inclusions in the alloys and the grain structure of the alloy can impact the analysis. By averaging across six unique locations, the system collects data that is representative of the alloy, not just an individual location.
Analysis Averaging
Multi-shot averaging and data rejection are critical to getting the best carbon tests. The combination of these two features, known as analysis averaging, allows the operator to (optionally) reject test data with significant point-by-point discrepancies then automatically create a final result.
Micro-camera and LED Spotlight
Proper alignment is critical to getting good analysis. Take out the guess work with SciAps micro-camera and LED Spotlight. The camera shows the sample in high resolution and ensures that the instrument is positioned correctly; LED Spotlight shows exactly where the laser will burn the sample. Get a good burn every time.
Argon: Cost of Operation
Argon costs just pennies per test, far less expensive than spark OES and much more convenient. What does that mean in real terms? It depends if you are doing carbon tests or general alloy tests. You can expect to get about 100 tests per canister for carbon, and 600 tests for general alloy; if you buy your argon canisters in the 10 pack, it will cost you $65 ($6.50 each), which means 6 cents, or 1 cent per test, respectively. Don’t always need carbon? Then add on the SciAps “Dual Burn” capability for non-carbon tests in air.
