SciAps Z-903 Geochem Analyzer

The SciAps Z-903 Geochem Analyzer is a cutting-edge handheld device designed for rapid and accurate elemental analysis in the field of geology and geochemistry. Developed by SciAps Inc., a leading provider of scientific instruments, the Z-903 offers advanced technology and portability, enabling geoscientists, environmental scientists, and researchers to make real-time assessments of various materials and samples.

The SciAps Z-903 does what no other handheld analyzer can. It’s a portable analyzer that measures every element in the periodic table from H to U. SciAps Z-903 uses the same powerful laser as the other Z-900 models from SciAps, but with, more spectral range. extended from 190 nm to 950 nm. Includes Profile Builder software for PC or tablet for powerful desktop functionality.

With one analyzer, every element

The Z-903 does what no other handheld analyzer can. This is a portable analyzer that measures every element in the periodic table – from H to U. It uses the same powerful laser as the other SciAps Z-900 models but with an extended spectrometer range from 190 nm to 950 n.

• The extended range allows emission lines from elements H, F, N, O, Br, Cl, Rb, Cs and S to be measured. These lines cannot be measured with the other Z-900 series analyzers.

• There are other benefits to the extended range. For example, it measures a more sensitive line for lithium near 675 nm to achieve limits of detection in the 2-5 ppm range.

• It also measures a more sensitive, and interference-free line for potassium (K). The more traditional potassium lines have heavy iron interference, whereas the line used by the Z-903 is free of such interference.

In use globally

Z-903 is most widely used for mineral exploration, including lithium in hard rock and brine. It is also used in forensics, authentication, archaeology, and oil and gas exploration due to many factors.

Complete user control

Laser attack type, cleaning stroke, and spectrometer settings are all under the control of the user. The analyzer includes advanced software to modify all parameters, compare spectral data, and generate quantitative calibration curves. The SciAps Z 903 has the same Android operating system and intuitive application control software as all other SciAps models.
