Break-through 213nm technology yields the shortest pulse length & wavelength combination for optimal ablation performance plus solid-state reliability
UP-213 is the 2nd generation, high-performance Nd:YAG deep UV (213nm) laser ablation system that provides flat craters and high absorption for the analysis of opaque and transparent materials alike. The deep UV 213nm wavelength produces a finer particle distribution. This increases transport efficiency of the aerosol resulting in better sensitivities and minimal deposits at the plasma.
UP-213 combines the ease-of-use of a solid-state laser with the high-efficiency sampling of deep-UV wavelengths for solid sampling of semiconductor, geological, biological, and environmental specimens. The laser ablation software program controls all laser parameters, sample viewing, stage positioning and gas routing functions, including triggering of the mass spectrometer, for a fully automated ablation process.
The Universal Platform Series is the most recent advances in laser ablation technology. It offers a totally flexible design that can be upgraded with features, wavelengths and software as they are released. The Universal Platform is designed for high reliability and easy maintenance.
Advantages
- Higher absorption rate at 213nm vastly improves ablation of all materials Including fragile and easily cleaved minerals
