Handheld XRF Analyzer: for mobile materials analysis

The newest handheld analyzer using x-ray fluorescence technology (non-isotope based) features software that is simple to navigate and offers real-time results on its touchscreen PDA.  When the user gets back to the laboratory, those results can easily be transferred to a desktop computer for long-term storage, analysis and report generation.

Whether your organization is renting a system or adding it as part of your permanent testing equipment, the lowest priced Handheld XRF available includes a software package, back-up batteries, durable carrying case, warranty and more.  It's not just a low-cost handheld option; it's a highly accurate system.

The initial application that this system was developed for is hazardous substance analysis and it exceeds the requirements of RoHS and CPSIA regulations with detection limits down to ten parts-per-million (ppm).  Various software packages also make it a portable solution to precious metal analysis (gold testing) and positive material identification.

Video Demonstration: Link (here) to a brief video of the Quickshot XRF Handheld Analyzer performing RoHS test; this offers a nice example of how simple the software is to navigate and how quickly you can obtain data.
