Handheld XRF

Hand Held XRF

In recent years, Hand Held x-ray fluorescence spectrometry equipment has become increasingly popular as an exploration tool for analysis of a wide range of materials in alloy analysis, scrap metal dealing, the precious metals industry, toy industry, archaeology and mining.

The HHXRF operates at 50 kV and 0.1 mA, using a miniaturised x-ray tube and is fitted with multiple filters to provide optimum x-ray detection. A high-performance thermoelectrically cooled detector with real-time digital signal processor and dual embedded processors, compute and store the data for transfer to PC.

  • A valuable exploration tool for analysis of a wide range of materials
  • In-house developed methodology allows HHXRF to detect up to 30 elements
  • Good accuracy and data precision
  • Non destructive

In-house developed methodology allows our HHXRF to detect up to 30 elements with comparable quality to ED-XRF, with up to 15 certified values by standard reference materials. Using this standard data, it is possible to correct for instrument drift and control its stability throughout the analysis. Data can be determined directly from core samples with little or no preparation as the HHXRF takes measurements directly form the core. The HHXRF is non destructive and maintains the integrity of the core.
