We are very happy to celebrate ELEMISSION’s founding today, already 7 years ago! We would like to take the opportunity to thank all our past, current, and future customers for their precious trust in our company. Furthermore, ELEMISSION is grateful to all the people who contributed to our success and helped build our reputation all around the world.
PDAC is the most anticipated convention around the world for mineral exploration and mining industry. Every year, exhibitors, share holders and prospectors alike meet at this unique event: come meet us virtually on March 8-11!
This year, ELEMISSION will reveal its newest innovation on the opening day: it’s another good reason to attend the convention!
ELEMISSION inc. is proud to introduce the fourth generation of LIBS hyperspectral imaging technology for microanalysis: the CORIOSITY G4.
If you are planning the acquisition of a micro-XRF instrument, you should definitely contact us to get more information about what LIBS technology does much better than micro-XRF. First of all, LIBS microanalyzers are at least 45 times faster (including vacuum pumping). Normally, it takes 20 to 30 minutes for a modern micro-XRF to evacuate the sample chamber prior analysis while the LIBS analyzer doesn’t require vacuum conditions: place the sample as is, close the door and start the analysis immediately!
We also scaled up the throughput to the next level: our CORIOSITY G4 is equipped with an autosampler. The LIBS technology is more sensitive than micro-XRF for heavier elements. Moreover, light elements like H, Li, B, C, N, O, P, F, Na and Mg can even be detected at trace level!
Finally, CORIOSITY instruments are powered by artificial intelligence to learn and recognize spectral patterns in mineralogical analysis. More specifically, they can report the quantitative automated mineralogy like most modern scanning electronic microscope equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS).
Here’s a small list of the principal specifications:
· A true speed of 1,000 individual spectra per second
· A maximum spatial resolution of 50 microns
· High selectivity, even for the lightest elements (which are not detectable using the XRF technology)
· Absolute sensitivity down to the femtograms
· 2D and 3D multi-elemental mapping
· Lightspeed Smart Automated Mineralogy powered by machine learning
· An autosampler for high throughput analysis
· A state-of-the-art software with an intuitive user interface
Interested in microanalysis?
Our LIBS Control software uses the power of machine learning to carry out mineral analysis from spectral data, and outputs striking images rendering a clear picture of a sample’s mineral or compositional distribution.
You’re looking for a micro-XRF instrument? STOP! The latest technology in microanalysis is LIBS hyperspectral imaging: you should definitely learn more about our newest CORIOSITY G4.
ELEMISSION will have a booth at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) 2019 convention (Trade Show North #6329N). Don’t miss out on a ELEMISSION technical presentation given by Dr François Doucet (LIBS: Universal core digitization) in the technical program “New exploration technologies” on Sunday, March 3rd, room 713 at 2:40 pm. PDAC is scheduled from the 3rd to the 6th of March 2019 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, Canada.
ELEMISSION will be hosting two workshops at the Australian Microbeam Analysis Society (AMAS) 2019 convention. We are excited to show our latest breakthrough in the field of LIBS elemental imaging, having the capability of perforrming 1,000 acquisition points per second! ELEMISSION has the answer to your lithium rush needs! Our newest elemental imager can help you rapidly characterize the elemental tomography of lithium-bearing deposits at a high resolution under 40 seconds per squared centimeter. AMAS 2019 is scheduled from the 11th to the 15th of February at the Brighton Savoy in Melbourne, Australia.
We are proud to announce that ELEMISSION inc. is the winner of the Export Montreal Ouest MercadOr Prize for New Explorer! ELEMISSION CEO François Doucet accepted our prize on May 26th, 2017 in Montreal, Quebec.
The company was also recently featured in several news articles. First, ELEMISSION was featured in the May 2017 edition of Spectroscopy Magazine. Under Review of New Spectroscopic Instrumentation for 2017, ELEMISSION’s CORIOSITY was named as one of the most innovative new atomic spectroscopy product of the year. The magazine described CORIOSITY as “the most advanced benchtop LIBS analyzer for elemental imaging and analysis currently on the market.”
Next, ELEMISSION sat down with Samuel Larochelle from La Presse to discuss innovative start-ups in the Ville Saint-Laurent area for Cinq PME de Saint-Laurent qui veulent changer le monde (Five SMEs from Saint-Laurent that would like to change the world). ELEMISSION was included in the list for wanting to change the chemical analysis industry by working on sorting metals on high-speed conveyors and analyzing chemical compositions through LIBS technology. As well, ELEMISSION’s environmental impact was mentioned, with CEO François Doucet mentioning that “[our technology] can also monitor what industrial plants emit into the environment.”
As well, ELEMISSION discussed high technology with Martin Primeau from La Presse, specifically LIBS technology, Hautes Technologies au Service des Sociétés Minières (High Technology at the Service of Mining Companies). ELEMISSION’s CORIOSITY is named after the Mars Curiosity rover, which used LIBS technology to send back data to Earth. ELEMISSION uses similar technology to analyze rock cores. Mr. Doucet commented that “[ELEMISSION’s] technology allows us to analyze 1000 measurements per second.”
Furthermore, ELEMISSION recently participated in the 2017 CIM Conference in Montreal, Canada. CIM is the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, and holds a yearly conference with industry participants. ELEMISSION had the opportunity to network with fellow companies and discuss its machines, which provide required selectivity and throughput for big data-generation in Artificial Intelligence mining analysis.
ELEMISSION continues to develop and improve breakthrough LIBS technology, helping industries solve real-time analytical problems. You can learn more about ELEMISSION’s product lines by contacting us. Ask us how our products can help your research and analysis!
ELEMISSION has been chosen as one of the finalists for the Pittcon 2017 excellence award for the innovation of the year!
The winner will be announced on Monday, March 6th, 2017.
ELEMISSION inc. is proud to introduce a groundbreaking technology for elemental imaging. The brand new LIBS elemental imager developed by ELEMISSION is capable of scanning 1 cm squared with a spatial resolution of 50 microns in less than 10 seconds: this is 100 times faster than LA-ICP-MS for surface elemental imaging!
