Handheld EDXRF Spectrometer

Spectro Analytical Instruments has introduced the Spectro Xsort handheld energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer. The instrument comes in a smaller, lightweight package that offers better analytical performance, and incorporates many new features. It is designed for high-throughput elemental testing and spectrochemical analysis of a wide range of metals and other materials in the field.

Its speed, accuracy and ease of use set new benchmarks for handheld spectrometric performance. The Spectrometer is suitable for applications, including positive material identification (PMI) and environmental screening, recycling of alloys, precious metals, and aluminum, plus mining and compliance screening. The instrument is also available with time and cost-saving features, such as an integrated video camera for precise spot testing and visual memory storage.

An integrated global positioning system (GPS) allows users to quickly return to previously checked locations without time-wasting resurveys. For metals and most alloys, the spectrometer delivers grade identification and material verification within two seconds of clicking its trigger. Pre-installed grade libraries cover common alloys used in industry. Even light-metal alloys require only 12 seconds to process.
