Tandem LA-LIBS – All in One Solid Sample Analyzer

Dr. Rick Russo, Executive Chairman of Applied Spectra and a senior scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, shares his thoughts on shifting trend in the world of chemical analysis towards reducing sample preparation and direct solid analysis instrumentation with higher detection sensitivity and expanded elemental coverage.

In this article, he discusses the new paradigm for chemical analysis, J200 Tandem LA – LIBS technology, with potential not only to eliminate laborious sample preparation but replace multiple instruments used in the common analytical testing lab, leading to reduced capital investment and accelerated time to realize the ROI.
