Fast and easy particle counting on filters

The analysis software Cleanliness Expert

Your success depends on delivering customer satisfaction through high quality products. Cleanliness of parts and components determines performance, lifetime, and overall product quality. 

As international and regional standards such as ISO, VDA and SAE become more strict in automotive and other industries, rigorous cleanliness analysis is necessary to ensure compliance. 

Cleanliness Expert software is an easy-to-use, optimal solution to provide you with reliable, repeatable analysis results specific to your application needs.

Because cleanliness counts

  • Improve your workflow with multi-sample measurements 
  • Meet international and national standards as well as individual requirements
  • Gain more information with laser spectroscopy to identify the source of contamination

Manage more than one sample

Analyze more than one sample at the same time, improve your workflow efficiency and simplify your process with automated particle analysis. Combine for example multiple filter samples from one filtration process into a single batch for analysis and assign different settings for particle classification for each filter. Generate reports easily to share your results.

Now you can

  • Save time by analyzing more than one filter at a time per batch
  • Set different parameters for particle classification, such as length and width limits for each filter
  • Measure with round or rectangular scanning patterns
  • Use the microscope for other tasks besides technical cleanliness analysis

Meet or exceed standards

Inspection is an important step in product safety, and is key for reliability and conformity to standards. Documenting the cleanliness of your parts and components is essential in order to attain the necessary certifications.

Cleanliness Expert software helps you

  • Classify your technical cleanliness by various international and national standards 
  • Include individual requirements
  • Acquire reliable and reproducible results with the store and recall function
  • Determine the full damage potential of the particle by measuring height, not just the length and width
  • Generate reports quickly in compliance with external or internal standards

Identify the source of contamination 

Don’t search – analyze! 

Imagine if you could combine visual and chemical inspection in a single workflow solution to help you find the source of contamination. Cleanliness Expert software combined with Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) system provides you with a flexible 2-in-1 analysis solution. Knowing more about the contamination quickly and easily gives your business an advantage when making decisions.

Your flexibility with LIBS

  • Get the chemical fingerprint of the particle without transferring it to an electron microscope (SEM) or other device
  • Eliminate additional sample preparation and system adjustment
  • Keep the chemical analysis in-house to save time and money 
  • Make informed decisions based on optical and chemical information 

Get the full picture

Clear and transparent results are necessary, as they help you identify unwanted particle input. With more information available, you can make better decisions. Documentation is essential for guiding and substantiating decisions concerning how you should proceed to improve cleanliness. Even for a single particle, you can adjust the quality of match which indicates the confidence for a match between the acquired spectrum of the analyzed particle and a reference spectrum in the database. Matches with greater confidence, i.e., higher numbers, will be automatically highlighted, giving you guidance for interpretation of the analysis results.

You have these advantages when using the Cleanliness Expert software in combination with LIBS analysis:

  • Finding efficiently, with a single glance, additional information displayed in the software and reports
  • Clearer view of the results for easier operation and analysis
  • Ability to adjust the quality of match for each individual particle
