SECOPTA LIBS Analyzers

SECOPTA analytics GmbH of Teltow, Germany has built laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) systems for industrial process and quality control since 1998, when it spun out of the Technical University of Clausthal. Its inline and at-line analyzers read every element in a single laser shot — positive material identification for bars and billets, slag and ferroalloy analysis, real-time bulk-material measurement — with results in seconds and no sample preparation. Now available through Verichek.

Results in Seconds

LIBS measures every element simultaneously with a single laser shot — up to 1,000 analysis values per second. Slag composition in under two minutes instead of 7–30; bar identification as material passes at 2 m/s.

No Sample Preparation

Homogenize data instead of samples. Only optical access is needed — slag is simply crushed and bars are measured in the line. No grinding, pressing, fusing, or ionizing radiation.
