Oxford Instruments has launched a new member of its handheld XRF (X-ray fluorescent) analyzer X-MET7000 series, the X-MET7500. The X-MET7500 is designed to deliver fast and accurate analysis of a wide variety of materials, including trace elements and light elements (from magnesium) analysis, without the need for helium purge or vacuum pump, according to the company.
The screening tool is designed for the following applications:
- Metal industries: Positive material identification
- Metal recycling; scrap sorting
- Gold and precious metals verification, including tramp elements in jewelry
- Mining processes: Ore exploration, on-site excavation control
- Environmental screening: Heavy metals in soils
- Lead and other hazardous substances in paint, toys and other consumer goods
- Treated wood recycling
- Drywall analysis: Low sulfur analysis
The X-MET7500 is equipped with top-of-the-range features, according to Oxford, including new user-friendly software, powerful reporting tools and a long battery life. The X-MET7500 comes with the same benefits as the X-MET7000 and with additional analytical capability. To ensure total flexibility, the X-MET7500 includes Oxford Instruments’ X-ray tube and Silicon-drift detector (SDD).
The X-MET7000 series offers what the company says is an improved, intuitive and easy-to-read graphical user interface with large functional icons. The bright and high contrast 4.3-inch Blanview transmissive LCD touch screen ensures optimal outdoor viewing, even in direct sunlight. Its ease of use guarantees maximum productivity. Both handheld XRF analyzers come with enhanced data download reporting flexibility. The result screen and reports can be easily customized. The rugged, yet light and compact design of the X-METs withstands the harshest environments and weather conditions.
