Thanks to its inherently green design, LIBS requires no consumables or sample preparation, unlike XRF (used for radioactive source analysis) or ICP (which uses argon or strong acids).
It aligns with a strategy of energy and ecological transition.
Due to the lack of standards quantifying aerosol emissions and nanoparticle air pollution, one of iUMTEK’s main research focuses is the analysis of atmospheric pollutants.
This technology also enables frequent on-site analyses close to production or control lines, helping reduce waste generation.
