Handheld XRF Spectrometer – Applications, Benefits & More

Handheld XRF Spectrometer is a portable XRF spectrometry device used for elemental analysis. It is designed for field deployment; however, multiple configurations of the instrument are possible. Whether it is for in lab setting or out lab setting, its application can help you establish X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy technique.

While the handheld XRF spectrometers can offer lab-like analysis with its data obtaining capabilities, these instruments aren’t fully capable of detecting some of the elements such as Mg or Na reliably. However, the S1 TITAN Handheld XRF Spectrometer is a high-performance instrument that offers wide elemental range analysis from Mg – U.

Wide Range of Applications with S1 TITAN Handheld XRF Spectrometer

The S1 TITAN Handheld XRF Spectrometer has varied applications and can impact different industries with its advanced elemental analysis. Some of the common applications are –

Geo Exploration

Mining and exploration projects require rapid decision making by analyzing the most accurate data collected. This instrument expert caliber allows professionals toward quick decision making as it readily supports the process of huge data collection rapidly.

With the application of this device, users can carry out geo-chemical analysis of drill core, mine face or prepared samples. Its on-site real time analysis is designed to enhance productivity by rapidly reducing result turnaround time.

The key feature of Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) provides superior count rates and resolution contributing to faster analysis. Within a matter of a few seconds, experts can get mining analysis results.

Alloy Analysis & Positive Material Identification (PMI)

Getting the precise alloy grade of metals and their chemical composition is a common and vital requirement of different industries. The Handheld XRF instrument offers an easy, non-destructive and fast analysis method.

The portable size and exceptional traceability capabilities of this instrument enables it to conduct a number of alloy analysis and PMI performance that benefits varied industries.

Consumer Safety & Security

This instrument can also come handy for the application of product safety. As it offers non-destructive and fast screening of consumer products ensures lead-free manufacturing. The X-ray fluorescence helps in detection of heavy metals in products such as toys, trinkets, etc and ensure if they are safe for use or recycling.

The exceptional SDD of this device enables for accurately detecting materials such as chrome (Cr), mercury (Hg), Lead (Pb) and other harmful elements.

Perks of Using XRF Handheld Spectrometer

While other XRF Handheld Spectrometers can benefit to carry out laboratory level analysis, the level detection for elements might be limited. But the S1 TITAN Handheld XRF Spectrometer offers –

Accurate, rapid and non-destructive elemental analysis with a wide range of available calibration options

• Superior level of resolution and count rates
• SDD detector technology with latest graphene window
• Reduced limitations for elemental detection
• Faster analysis than the previous generations
• Easy and seamless analysis of light elements such as silicon or magnesium without the requirement for helium or vacuum setting

The handheld XRF spectrometer has got to offer more than its size with its exceptional range of features.
