Niton Apollo portable LIBS analyser

ME_TF_US_APOLLO | Thermo Fisher Scientific

Laser-focused carbon analysis

Fast, accurate and portable

 

Discover the Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ Apollo™ portable LIBS analyzer. Designed to help you tackle your most challenging analytical tasks, the Niton Apollo specializes in measuring carbon content in a convenient, portable format. Powered by Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), the Niton Apollo offers unmatched speed, superior performance, and enhanced productivity. Unlock possibilities and bring the power of laboratory analysis to the field.

Applications

Determining alloy composition and quality for a wide range of metallurgical samples

Calculating carbon equivalency to assess weldability of piping

Verifying critical assets such as piping, valves, and reaction vessels for Positive Material Identification (PMI)

Inspecting materials at receipt, in-process manufacturing, and outgoing quality control (QC)

Validating Material Test Reports (MTR)

Preventing contaminated waste from entering the supply chain

Detecting tramp and trace elements to meet regulatory standards

Analytical Performance

Designed to deliver fast analysis and low detection limits, the Niton Apollo ensures superior results. Powered by an efficient laser and high-purity argon purge, the Niton Apollo provides laboratory-quality analysis in approximately 10 seconds. Users can calculate carbon equivalency and perform advanced averaging, while identifying alloy grades and programming pseudo-elements. Data is displayed in real-time, allowing for quick and efficient decision-making.

Extended Field Use

Avoid maneuvering heavy equipment in confined spaces. Weighing only 2.9 kilograms, the Niton Apollo transforms a traditional laboratory or cart-mounted Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) system into a highly portable analyzer. Experience a whole new range of movement as you seamlessly navigate pipelines and trenches. A conical nose helps users achieve even greater coverage for measuring hard-to-reach areas, such as tight welds and cavities.

Increased Productivity

Experience high-speed performance combined with simple point-and-shoot operation. With minimal training required, the Niton Apollo is easy to use, even for non-technical users. Fast analysis times help increase throughput and sample production. A hot-swappable Milwaukee® battery also allows users to stay operational when it's time to replace a low battery.

Safe Analysis

A powerful laser must be handled with the utmost care. The Niton Apollo is equipped with three (3) robust safety interlocks to help users reduce the risk of laser misfires. Tried, tested, and third-party validated, our interlocks help ensure operator safety. Designed to measure chamber pressure, spectral type, and light/dark conditions, users can safely use the Niton Apollo with peace of mind.

Functionality

Vivid icons and an intuitive application interface make navigation and setup easy. Utilize scanning and touchscreen features, even with a gloved hand. The optional directional keys of the Niton Apollo provide increased ease of use. A micro and macro camera allow for precise sample positioning and collect images for better record-keeping. WiFi accessibility also securely and automatically transmits data from your device to the PC.
