A powerful combination: SciAps is a Malvern Panalytical company
The SciAps X-Series is the world’s lightest, smallest, fastest, high-precision family of X-ray fluorescence analyzers (XRF), under 3 lbs., with improved heat dissipation and a new user interface.
Built on Android OS with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and USB, you can manage your data and fleet anywhere, print or email results, and connect to virtually any information management system for seamless test data and reports.
And visibility? An integrated camera with video for sample viewing is included with all models, and the latest smartphone display provides easy viewing in all lighting conditions.
All internal electronics now use less power and operate at higher temperatures - no drift or shutdown
Redesigned heat sinking - now operates continuously up to 110°F (43°C) ambient temperatures
New internal circuit boards
New housing and metal components
Up-to-date software, user interface, and full recalibration
Same advanced X-ray tube as other X models
May be factory calibrated with fundamental parameters, Compton Normalization (EPA Method 6200), or user-defined empirical calibrations
Best-in-class performance and speed - the world’s most advanced handheld XRF platform now includes a cost-effective SDD detector.
The SciAps X-5 is an excellent choice for conducting basic analysis of transition and heavy metals. Designed for users who do not require measurements of Mg, Al, Si, S, or P in alloys or other materials.
For these users, we’ve re-engineered this classic technology and equipped it with more features for many applications at a great value.
For many NDT/PMI jobs that require verification of low alloy, Cr/Mo steels, stainless and corrosion-resistant alloys, the X-5 often delivers excellent performance.
Alloy applications include sorting stainless steels, high temp alloys and red metals.
The X-5 is also available for precious metals, RoHS, soil, mining, car catalysts, industrial lead paint and other user-customizable applications.
