What is the SciAps Z-70 used for?
The SciAps Z-70 is a handheld LIBS analyzer used for rapid alloy identification, metal sorting, and positive material identification (PMI).
Does the Z-70 use XRF technology?
No. The Z-70 uses Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) rather than X-ray fluorescence (XRF).
Can the Z-70 analyze painted or dirty metals?
Yes. Its high-power laser is designed to penetrate many surface contaminants such as paint, grease, oil, oxidation, and anodized coatings.
Is calibration required before every test?
No. Factory calibrations and automated drift correction minimize the need for routine calibration.
What industries commonly use the SciAps Z-70?
It is widely used in scrap recycling, metal fabrication, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and industrial quality control.
Can the analyzer export test results?
Yes. Test results can be exported using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS-enabled reporting, or USB-C connectivity.
