Handheld Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy Analyzer to be Showcased at Upcoming Recycling Industry Events

Rigaku Corporation is pleased to announce that Rigaku Analytical Devices, a leading provider of innovative handheld spectrometers, will be showcasing its handheld laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) analyzer, the Rigaku KT-100 Katana, at a number of upcoming events related to the recycling industry.

Designed for on-the-spot metals identification, including aluminum grades, the KT-100 Katana™ spectrometer has powerful analytical capabilities, with results in less than 2 seconds – at the touch of a button. KT-100 offers unique auto surface preparation with its Drill-Down™ feature and is considerably smaller and lighter than other handheld LIBS analyzers currently available. With an extended battery life, KT-100 is designed to be more robust and less prone to fatigue and downtime, critical both for on and off-site operations.
