During LIBS analysis, a focused pulsed laser bombards the sample removing a tiny amount of material from the surface. Similarly, during a typical one-second measurement, the sample is struck by ...

WASHINGTON -- In a new study, investigators report an optimized approach to using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for analyzing hydrogen isotopes. Their new findings could enable improved ...

Speakers introduced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, an analytical technique largely unfamiliar to the pharmaceutical industry, to attendees at this year’s Pharmaceutical Technology annual ...

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been shown to be a rapid and reliable means to help detect life-threatening bacterial pathogen species such as MRSA. For the first time, scientists have ...

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is an analytical technique for determining the elemental composition of various solids, liquids and gases. It has the attraction that it is highly sensitive ...

A more sophisticated version of the LIBS technique uses a double-pulse system. In this case, there is a delay between the two laser pulses, lasting from microseconds to nanoseconds. The advantage over ...

Firm is latest to offer scrap dealers and others a hand-held laser tool for instant chemical analysis of metals. Analytical equipment vendor Bruker has become the latest company to offer a hand-held ...

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a rapid chemical analysis tool. A powerful laser pulse is focused on a sample to create a microplasma. The elemental or molecular emission spectra from ...

Researchers recently demonstrated a novel technique: plasma-grating-induced breakdown spectroscopy (GIBS). Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a rapid chemical analysis tool. A powerful ...
