Like most technologies, expectations for XRF analyzers have evolved over time. With the greater connectivity that the internet has provided, users expect quicker access to information. One major benefit offered by Hitachi High-Tech analyzers that isn’t talked about enough is the ExTOPE Connect program for data management.

​X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers are essential tools for many industries, providing non-destructive testing in a wide range of manufacturing interests, mining applications, and environmental testing. When it's time to acquire one, the decision between purchasing a new or reconditioned unit is one that many organizations consider. This article explores the top benefits of each along with some other aspects to consider.

​What accreditation does your x-ray fluorescence service provider hold? It’s important to many clients of Eastern Applied Research that their XRF Analyzer service and support provider maintain compliance to a specific standard through an independent accreditation body. For those customers focused on ISO/IEC 17025, we are happy to announce that we have maintained our accreditation to this rigorous standard.
 
This is a timely extension of our accreditation because a new customer recently contacted us specifically because they wanted support that is covered by ISO/IEC 17025. Their current, now previous, provider certifies to ISO 9001.

While a lot of the XRF Sales conversations that we have are with facilities using X-Ray Fluorescence for coating thickness measurement or RoHS screening, we also have a lot of conversations about what is broadly referred to as elemental analysis and it covers testing needs in a number of industries. Often, when elemental analysis is the goal, we will discuss the “bulk analyzers” line from Hitachi High-Tech which includes the well-known X-Supeme8000 and the new LabX5000.
 
We wanted to focus some attention on the newer LabX5000 because the X-Supreme8000 has been around for years. The X-Supreme8000 remains popular because of its turret stage but the LabX5000 offers so many great features and is extremely affordable, so it does get a lot of attention too.
