Why choose a Vulcan handheld LIBS analyzer?

Significantly increase productivity

Increasing the number of analyzes a day can make all the difference, especially with large inventory checks.

Low cost of ownership

As Vulcan is a laser induced breakdown tool, typically there's no need for staff to attend expensive and time consuming radiation classes and certification training.

Built to last

IP54 certified, NEMA3 equivalent and complies with MIL-STD-810G military grade for ruggedness.

Our LIBS spectrometer features

Simple to use

Intuitive user interface combined with point-and shoot LIBS analysis reduces or even removes the chance of user-related errors

Advanced data management

Transfer and store all your results securely in our cloud service and use one of the most advanced reporting tools on the market. Vulcan also connects with your mobile to add photos to the results and to share data instantly.

Robust and durable

Splash water and dust proof, Vulcan’s measurement optics are protected by sapphire glass, one of the toughest materials available.

Long battery life

A single battery charge will last up to 8 hours when analyzing one sample every 5 seconds. Two batteries are included in the delivery.
