Applied Spectra, Inc.

Applied Spectra, Inc. (ASI) is a leading supplier of analytical instruments. This company stands at the forefront of laser ablation (LA) based elemental analysis techniques, with its world-class scientific and engineering teams. ASI simplifies the process of elemental chemical analysis while delivering rapid, high-precision results that are environmentally friendly.

Applied Spectra's technology offers a compelling value proposition over traditional chemical analysis methods, which are slower and frequently involve destroying the sample and generating toxic chemical waste by-products.

Powerful, Customizable LIBS and LA-ICP-MS Products

Applied Spectra’s comprehensive and highly customizable product portfolio gives its customers a wide range of LA-based analytical solutions. Customers maximize their initial capital investment with respect to the required analytical performance.

Products by Applied Spectra deliver elemental and isotopic detection capabilities from ppm down to ppb level across virtually all elements in the periodic table. The versatile RT100 Series LIBS and J100 Series LA-ICP-MS platforms are designed to allow the use of different laser parameters for sample analysis, thus extending the applicability of ASI's instruments over a wide range of sample matrices.
