The fully automated SPE metal.ID 5 determines the chemical composition of particles ranging from 5 µm and larger at a rate of hundreds per hour. Intuitive software control enables any user to obtain statistically relevant information after just a short introductory training period. Simply insert the sample, select the relevant particle shape and size parameters, and then allow the fully automated system to identify the elemental distibution (metal.ID) at a throughput rate of 3000-6000 particles per hour. A high throughput rate allows for the rapid detection of the contamination source.

Particle count, shape, and size from 0.5 µm and larger can be determined by using a particle size distribution with 8 customizable size classes.The SPE metal.ID 5 implements all the features of the SPE CSS plus automated identification of indivdual, organic, and inorganic particles from 5 µm and larger. Particles are sized and counted then automatically selected for integrated metal.ID (LIBS) spectroscopy and interpretation.

An integrated metal.ID spectra (LIBS) library is available for the following elements: Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Sn, Ba, Pb, Co, Fe, V, W, over 100 alloys, and much more. The integrated database search software uses the particle spectra fingerprint to identify the metallic elements. All raw data including raw images, analyzed images, particle morphology, particle stitch (merging) and spectra are stored in a “results” file.
