Overview

The SciAps X-200 handheld XRF analyzer is the perfect blend of high performance and attractive price.

The X-200 offers speed and performance comparable or superior to the top-end analyzers from other brands. It uses a top-performing SDD combined with a highly optimized X-ray tube and detector geometry. The X-200 is rapidly becoming the first choice for scrap processing and non-destructive testing due to speed and analytical performance combined with the lightweight, small form-factor design. 

Analyzers may be factory calibrated with fundamental parameters, Compton Normalization (EPA Method 6200), or user-defined empirical calibrations.

Applications

The X-200 is fast on every alloy family, including aluminum alloys. 

For geochemical applications, it offers suites of elements for environmental, pathfinder, exploration, and mining. 

Other available apps include environmental soil, RoHS, Precious Metals, Car Catalysts, Coatings, and SciAps Empirical App for users who want to test other types of materials and generate their own calibration models.
