LIBS stands out for its inherently green design, requiring no consumables or sample preparation—unlike XRF, which relies on radioactive sources, or ICP, which uses argon or strong acids. This means LIBS also aligns with strategies for energetic and ecological transition.
Due to the lack of standards for quantifying aerosol emissions and non-particulate air pollution, one of iUMTEK’s key research priorities is the analysis of atmospheric pollutants.
Our technology also enables frequent on-site analyses near production or control lines, helping to reduce waste at the source.
