Loading... Please wait...Our range of handheld XRF analyzers, the X-MET8000 series, delivers the speed and performance required even in the most demanding applications, by using the optimised combination of a high performance X-ray tube and a large area silicon-drift detector (SDD).
The X-MET8000 series includes 3 models (Smart, Optimum and Expert) to suit all analysis needs and budgets, for scrap metal analysis, precious metals and jewellery analysis, positive material identification (PMI) for inspection and manufacturing applications, and regulatory compliance screening.
Accessories:
Carrying Case
A compact, rugged and waterproof case for easy storage and transportation of the X-MET8000 and its accessories.
Benchtop Stand
When repeatable positioning of the analyser or longer measurement times are required for best accuracy and precision (e.g. analysis of small parts, electronic components, powders, etc.) convert the X-MET to a benchtop analyser with a large chamber, in a matter of seconds with our benchtop stand.
The stand includes fail-safe interlocks and visible “X-rays on” warning lights for uncompromised radiation safety and local compliance.
With its foldable legs the X-MET8000 benchtop stand can be transported anywhere and is powered from the X-MET.
Light Stand and Safety Shield
A portable 2-part small stand for the safe analysis of small samples (e.g. fasteners, sample cups).
Light Radiation Shield
An easy-fit radiation shield to minimise the scatter of X-rays from low density samples (e.g. aluminium alloys, plastics).
Background Plate
Placed under thin, flat low-density samples, the background plate minimises scattered X-rays, and ensures accurate results by stopping X-rays going through the samples.
Holster
Secure holster frees your hands when not measuring samples, and makes the X-MET easy to transport on-site and easy to access.
Wrist Strap and Lanyard
For the safe and secure use of the analyser, also allowing hands-free on-site transportation.
Wireless Bluetooth® Printer
Portable battery operated Bluetooth® printer for on-site results’ print outs (on paper or sticky labels) to avoid mix-ups and re-testing.
Bluetooth® Barcode Scanner
Quickly define sample name and/or additional information to prevent typing errors and save time with complicated sample names.
