SciAps Z-200C+ LIBS Analyzer
The SciAps Z-200C+ LIBS Analyzer is a handheld carbon and alloy analyzer designed for fast field analysis of steels and stainless steels. Using LIBS technology, integrated argon purge, carbon-specific spectroscopy, and laser rastering, it provides an efficient solution for carbon measurement, alloy verification, PMI, and carbon equivalent testing.
Description
SciAps Z-200C+ LIBS Analyzer – Handheld Carbon & Alloy Analyzer for PMI and Metal Identification
The SciAps Z-200C+ LIBS Analyzer is a professional handheld Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) analyzer designed for rapid carbon analysis and alloy identification. It is particularly useful for distinguishing carbon and stainless steels, verifying carbon content, calculating carbon equivalents, and supporting Positive Material Identification (PMI) applications.
The analyzer uses a pulsed 1064 nm laser and an integrated argon purge system to improve analytical performance. Its compact handheld design allows technicians to perform measurements directly in the field, reducing the need to transport samples to a laboratory for every inspection.

What is the SciAps Z-200C+ used for?
The Z-200C+ is primarily used for carbon analysis in steels and stainless steels, alloy identification, carbon equivalent calculations, and PMI applications.
Can it measure carbon in stainless steel?
Yes. The Z-200C+ was specifically developed for carbon analysis in stainless and carbon steels and can help distinguish different stainless-steel grades based on carbon content.
What laser does the Z-200C+ use?
It uses a 1064 nm pulsed laser operating at approximately 5.5 mJ per pulse and 50 Hz.
Does it require argon?
For high-performance carbon analysis, the Z-200C+ uses an on-board replaceable argon purge cartridge. SciAps states that the cartridge provides approximately 125–150 carbon analyses, depending on the testing method.
Can it calculate Carbon Equivalent?
Yes. The Z-200C+ carbon application includes Carbon Equivalent calculations, along with Mn:C ratio and residual-element calculations.
Is sample grinding required?
For carbon analysis, proper surface preparation and grinding are recommended. SciAps describes specific grinding procedures for reliable carbon measurements, while its broader Z-series LIBS platform can perform many alloy identification applications without grinding
