A powerful combination: SciAps is a Malvern Panalytical company
The SciAps X-50 is ideal for basic analysis of transition and heavy metals. For those who don’t need to measure Mg, Al, Si, S, or P, it’s the perfect choice.
We’ve reengineered the classic detector technology with a new internal circuit board, new housing and metal components, up-to-date software and user interface, and full recalibration. And we’ve equipped it with more features, such as a built-in, high-resolution camera for sample viewing and a macro-camera for photo-documentation or 2D/3D barcode reading and storage.
A little beefier than SciAps sleeker models, this value-priced XRF still offers best-in-class analytical performance and speed for its detector platform, operating at rates 2X or higher than other brands.
The powerful, miniaturized X-ray tube combined with highly advanced internal geometry yields fast, precise results.
The standard element package for the X-50 is shown in the table below.
