At-line & Off-linePlasmaSens™ Standalone

At-line and lab characterization of flat samples. A full multi-property profile in seconds. Built for quality labs, product development, R&D and incoming inspection.

Key Features

Built for Flat Samples

PlasmaSens Standalone characterizes samples and coupons at the surface and below it. One non-destructive scan returns signal maps and anomaly flags, plus property values once models are calibrated with your reference measurements, so your team can compare materials, run a full characterization and get to the root cause when something goes wrong.

Analysis Examples

High-Resolution Maps, Sample by Sample

PlasmaSens Standalone sits at-line and in the lab, wherever teams need a detailed look at a sample: process and product development, failure and root cause analysis, incoming inspection, quality checks and more. Here is one example of what a single scan shows.

When you change a formulation or a process, you need to know what it did to the material. Standalone takes high-resolution 2D scans of a sample and maps how uniform it is, where defects sit, and how properties vary, so trials can be compared side by side.

Questions

What People Ask Before a Demo

Does it damage the sample?–

No. PlasmaSens uses a very low-energy cold atmospheric plasma, generated using 1 to 1.5 watts and emitted at about 40 °C. PlasmaSens is non-contact, needs no sample preparation and works in ambient conditions. We work with customers during the sample intake process to ensure we mutually agree on demo targets and operating parameters that are tuned to specific customer material targets.

What do you need from us to start?+

As few as five samples can be sufficient for a successful demonstration, ideally with reference measurements for the properties or defects you care about so we can build models that will report or identify them. We scan them and send a preliminary report. If you don’t have reference data for your samples, unsupervised analysis and signal maps can still reveal and visualize meaningful information about your samples.

What size samples can PlasmaSens Standalone scan?+

Flat samples from 50 × 50 mm up to 200 × 162 mm. They can be conductive, semiconductive or insulating.

How long does a scan take?+

About 30 cm² per minute at standard settings. Once a data baseline is established, the system can be tuned to provide faster scans or higher resolution scans as required. Once a model is calibrated, property values are ready in seconds to minutes after the scan.
