Handheld & Portable XRF Analyzer Series

PORTABLE XRF Analyzer 

Elvatech Ltd. has been developing and producing analytical spectrometric instrumentation since its foundation in 1991. Our goal is to provide analytical control at industrial enterprises, laboratories, research institutions in order to improve technological processes and the quality of products, develop new modern materials and increase production efficiency

Handheld XRF Industries and Applications

A handheld XRF spectrometer is helpful in the following commercial and other applications:

Identification of alloys. Positive Material Identification is easy with Elvatech hand-held analyzers. The result of such an analysis must be precise to ensure the safety and quality of the material. Non-destructive analysis using the X-ray fluorescence approach is the best for any metal element.

Scrap sorting and Analysis. Scrap metal identification and sorting are some of the most important tasks in recycling. The analysis might take days if not months, depending on the pile. But if you have a handheld XRF for scrap metal sorting, speed and efficiency are guaranteed.

Precious metal analysis. Benchtop and Handheld XRF analyzer is a widely used, reliable, and recommended method for chemical analysis and determination of purity and fineness of precious metals in gold mining and jwelry maker,bullion gold market etc.

Car Catalyst Analysis. The X-ray fluorescence (XRF) testing method, which was introduced into car catalyst processing from the mining and scrap processing industry, has proven indispensable for this application. It provides users with concentrations of Pt, Pd, and Rh in a spent catalyst in seconds. It is impossible to determine the content of PGMs in car cats without using special devices. This is where our portable XRF assists the processor.

Consumer safety. Many regulations like the EU`s Restrictions of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) forced many manufacturers to look for faster, cheaper, and more precise ways of material research. A testing gun from Elvatech will analyze a finished item or its component in seconds, saving time and effort and ensuring consumer safety.

Archaeometry. Due to the completely non-destructive way of analysis and portability, a handheld XRF analyzer will help research and date ancient relics and old works of art.

Oil and fuel. An analysis of oils, fuels, and similar substances, you can detect any hazardous elements or mannitol oil blending.

Agriculture and environment. A small XRF gun can analyze soil and detect any signs of contamination, helping to raise awareness of the damage we bring to the planet and choosing proper sites for agriculture.

In every aforementioned application, you need a handheld XRF analyzer that is fast, precise, and reasonably priced. You can find all these specifications and more in Elvatech`s XRF guns.

Benefits of Using Elvatech Portable Analyzers

The benefits of using Elvatech XRF guns are plenty. The most important are:

  • High portability. Most of the time, you may need an immediate on-site analysis. A handheld XRF gun is irreplaceable for such purposes. It brings all the benefits of a professional laboratory right to your hand.
  • High accuracy with no sample prep. Sample prep is needed depending on the application. But in most cases, an XRF gun is used for a quick «shooting» analysis (hence the name). If you need more accuracy and lab results, you may need to prepare a small sample on the site and perform an analysis in seconds.
  • Minimal maintenance. No calibration and almost no maintenance due to dust and waterproof capabilities make it cheaper to own such a device. Usually, such highly sensitive devices need additional protection and a certain environment to work. But not Elvatech`s handheld XRF guns.
  • Amazing performance. Analyzing soil, alloys, precious metals, and oil with one device is the new meaning of technological advancement. The speed of lab-close results is staggering – several seconds.

Ease of use. Such devices are completely beginner-friendly due to a clear, simple interface and additional software
