Main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the use of a comparatively low cost, CMOS, sensor for LIBS applications. The detector has a 15.5s integration time. Both univariate and multivariate (PLS) calibration models tested. The authors warn that 'although the present detection system has a low cost, its low resolution imposes a caution against the abusive use of chemometrics'.
