Is the Niton Apollo Handheld LIBS Analyzer splash and dust proof?

The Niton Apollo Handheld LIBS Analyzer is IP54 certified, meaning that it is sealed against moisture and dust. The splash and dust proof design ensures uninterrupted operation and worry-free use virtually anywhere.

What languages are supported on the Niton Apollo Handheld LIBS Analyzer?

At this time, the Niton Apollo Handheld LIBS Analyzer supports English only. Additional languages will be added in the future. Be sure to check back frequently as we make continuous updates to the Niton Apollo analyzer.

What type of maintenance is required for the Niton Apollo Handheld LIBS Analyzer?

Regular maintenance is vital to ensuring that the Niton Apollo Handheld LIBS Analyzer produces the most analytically accurate outcomes. Maintenance includes daily setup procedures, instrument cleaning, and annual calibration certification.

Daily Set-Up Procedures - serve to normalize the analyzer and include a wave and sensitivity check. It is recommended that “daily set-up” be completed every 8 hr shift.

Instrument Cleaning - removes metal particles from the optic windows to prevent the possibility of signal throughput becoming degraded. It is recommended that instrument cleaning be performed every 1,000 readings. Learn more about instrument cleaning here (https://bcove.video/2BcGJ80).

Annual Calibration Certification - your analyzer comes back to the factory for inspection by our certified technicians. Our team verifies the analytical performance of your analyzer - if necessary, it will be re-calibrated to ensure proper functionality. You will also obtain a certificate (good for one year) stating that your calibration is in proper working order.

Is the Niton Apollo Handheld LIBS Analyzer WiFi enabled?

Yes, Niton Apollo Handheld LIBS Analyzer users can remotely export readings to their network share. Once a connection is established, users can manually or automatically export a CSV file to their network share and bypass steps associated with data extraction using NitonConnect.
