The NanoLIBS is a state-of-the-art handheld Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy instrument for identification and investigation of raw materials such as monatomic salts. This atomic spectroscopy technique provides the elemental spectrum ideal for identifying monatomic ionic salts such as KCl and NaCl without requiring reagents or the lengthy sample preparation. Compact and agile, the NanoLIBS can be used by non-technical users to rapidly identify samples in the lab, warehouse, loading dock or field, helping to eliminate quarantine areas and expedite materials through the manufacturing lifecycle. It is the only handheld LIBS device on the market addressing specific raw material ID applications with full regulatory compliancy.

The NanoLIBS is fully compliant with all governing regulations, including 21 CFR Part 11 and Part 1040.10, and can play an integral role in cGMP-compliant facilities. B&W Tek offers a wide variety of services, including assistance with method and/or new library development as well as support with IQ/OQ/PQ implementation.

Time Savings – user-friendly software allows even non-technical users to quickly take a sample, press a tablet, and scan to get a result
Safety – no need for reagents while facilitating 100% incoming raw material identification, protecting employees as well as customers
Accurate and Traceable – established elemental analysis technology with 21 CFR Part 11 compliant software gives users confidence in their results. Performance verification sample and test procedures are included
Optimized ID – optimized for unambiguous identification of the most popular monatomic salts: KBr, KCl, KI, NaBr, NaCl

State-of-the-Art Identification Software

The NanoLIBS comes standard with B&W Tek’s proprietary NanoLIBS OS software installed within the unit, which allows for identification and investigation, library and method development, and data storage/ transfer. The NanoLIBS ID software with a secure database, is designed for use on PCs for data and methods management, allowing customers to review data, generate reports, export data, and integrate to their LIMS system. The NanoLIBS ID and NanoLIBS OS software packages are 21CFR part 11 compliant with IQ/OQ documentation and services available for pharmaceutical customers.

Additionally, the NanoLIBS provides secure Wi-Fi and Ethernet synchronization capabilities with network terminals in order to optimize time and resources. NanoLIBS OS is capable of data and report transfers in order to centralize information (such as libraries, methods and final reports) in general servers.
