The LaserAg Quantum instrument is based on LIBS technology,<\/strong> which is simpler and faster than dry combustion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new instrument for more efficient measurement of soil organic carbon (SOC) was validated in spring 2023 by Eurofins EnvironeX<\/a>, Quebec’s largest testing laboratory in the environmental, agri-food, and pharmaceutical health sectors. This validation will facilitate SOC analysis and thus contribute to the fight against climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invented by Logiag, LaserAg Quantum<\/a> is the first instrument to analyze soil samples using technology from the mining industry: laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LaserAg Quantum is four times faster than dry combustion. It also requires less handling than this traditional method. Finally, LaserAg can simultaneously analyze four parameters in addition to SOC: organic matter, pHwater<\/sub>, pHbuffer<\/sub>, and nitrogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result of 10 years of research and development, LaserAg Quantum has arrived at just the right time. \u201cDemand for SOC analysis is growing,\u201d says Marc Hamilton, president of Eurofins EnvironeX, which already has 40,000 requests in its order book for 2023. LaserAg will help us respond to this new market more effectively than dry combustion. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is in the context of climate change that markets are demanding valid SOC measurements<\/a>, since an increase in the amount of carbon stored in soils necessarily corresponds to a reduction in CO2<\/sub> in the atmosphere. It is climate transition agricultural practices that are driving this transition and placing SOC increase at the heart of the fight against climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LaserAg Quantum instrument, supported by the LaserAg software suite, accompanies soil sampling while quickly and efficiently measuring and analyzing SOC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently in operation in the laboratories of Eurofins EnvironeX<\/a> (Montreal) and Omnia<\/a> (Zambia), LaserAg Quantum is available for sale to all analytical laboratories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
