Handheld LIBS Analyzers
Handheld LIBS Analyzers | Laser-Based Elemental and Alloy Identification
A handheld LIBS analyzer identifies metal and mineral composition on the spot using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, giving recyclers, mills, and mining teams a lab-quality reading without sending a sample out. Because the technology reads light elements that X-ray fluorescence misses, from aluminum and lithium to carbon, it fills gaps that other portable analyzers cannot cover alone.
This range spans three configurations built on the same core platform: an aluminum and general alloy model for scrap sorting and PMI, a carbon model for steel and stainless verification, and a lithium model for mining and battery recycling work. Each shares a compact, one-trigger design, so operators move between applications without retraining.
Applications
Handheld LIBS analyzers support quality control, sorting, and field verification wherever a fast composition reading beats a lab turnaround.
- Scrap Metal Recycling and Sorting: identifies aluminum, copper, and stainless steel grades on-site to prevent mixed-grade contamination
- Positive Material Identification (PMI): verifies alloy grade on pipes, components, and structural parts in petrochemical and power generation facilities
- Steel and Stainless Steel Carbon Verification: measures carbon down to low parts-per-million levels to distinguish H-grade from L-grade stainless steel
- Lithium Ore Exploration and Mining: quantifies lithium content directly in ore samples for on-site grade control decisions
- Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling: measures recovered lithium in battery scrap and black mass to support material valuation
- Metal Trading and Procurement: gives buyers and sellers a shared, on-site method to confirm material composition before a sale closes
Handheld LIBS Analyzer Range
The lineup covers three configurations, each tuned to a different target material.
Handheld LIBS Analyzer - ToronLIBS™ V
A general alloy and aluminum-focused model built for scrap sorting, PMI, and metal trading. It identifies aluminum, copper, and stainless steel grades in about one second from a compact, 1.25 kg body, which suits high-volume yards and trading floors that need a fast grade match.
Handheld LIBS Analyzer - ToronLIBS™ P100 (Carbon)
A carbon-focused model for steel and stainless verification. Its dedicated high-resolution spectrometer and onboard argon purge measure carbon down to low parts-per-million levels, which lets inspectors separate H-grade from L-grade stainless steel and calculate carbon equivalency for weldability.
Handheld LIBS Analyzer - ToronLIBS™ P200 (Lithium)
A lithium-focused model for mining and battery recycling. It quantifies lithium directly in ore samples such as spodumene and petalite, or in recovered battery material, giving field teams a result without shipping samples to an outside lab.
How to Choose the Right Handheld LIBS Analyzer
- For scrap sorting and general alloy PMI: choose the ToronLIBS™ V for broad alloy coverage and strong aluminum performance.
- For low-carbon steel and stainless grade verification: choose the ToronLIBS™ P100 for its dedicated carbon channel and argon purge.
- For lithium ore or battery recycling work: choose the ToronLIBS™ P200 for direct lithium quantification.
- For teams avoiding X-ray licensing and shielding: any model in the range works, since all use non-ionizing laser technology instead of X-rays.
