Ocean Optics (Dunedin, FL) introduced the portable LIBS2500 laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy system featuring a sensitivity of 10-50 ppm; a series of 2,048-element, linear CCD detectors; and a seven-fiber optical sampling probe with a 74-UV collimating lens and a sampling lens. The system incorporates up to seven high-resolution spectrometers for spectral coverage from 200-980 nm, and operates with any 32-bit, USB-compatible Windows PC over a USB 1.1 or 2.0 interface. Integral software fires the laser and identifies the element being analyzed, performing element identification, reference correlation, time-dependent analysis, and line tracking over multiple samples.
