LIBS2500plus Spectra of Anthrax SurrogatesBC (Bacillus Cereus), BG (Bacillus Globigii), BT
(Bacillus Thuringiensis)
Applications
The LIBS technique is useful in areas such as:
 Environmental monitoring (soil contamination, particulates, sediments)
 Materials analysis (metals, plastics, slag, glass)
 Forensics and biomedical studies (teeth, bones)
 Military and safety applications (explosive particles, chemical and biological warfare agents)
 Art restoration/conservation (pigments, precious/ancient metals)
 Metrology (silicone wafers, semiconductor materials)
 Bioresearch (plants, grains)
LIBS Components
Ocean Optics’ LIBS functionality can be purchased as a complete system, including the spectrometers
and related fibers, laser, LIBS Imaging Module, and OOILIBSplus software. The system is also
completely customizable. The modular nature of the LIBS2500plus system allows you to purchase just
the spectrometer. Users can then provide their own fixtures and/or Q-switched laser. You can specify the
number of spectrometers (1–7), as well as their gratings, lenses, slits and filters. Contact an Ocean Optics
Application Scientist for more information on customizing your LIBS System.
