OXFORD INSTRUMENTS X-MET5100
Oxford Instruments X-MET5100 combines Oxford Instruments Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) with a 45kV X-ray tube. This technology enables the analysis of light elements such as Mg, Al, and Si without the need for a vacuum or helium attachments.
Oxford Instruments new X-MET5100 takes the analytical performance of hand-held XRF to a completely new level. X-MET5100 combines Oxford Instruments ground-breaking Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) with a powerful 45kV X-ray tube. This cutting edge technology delivers fast, highly accurate measurement and the lowest limits of detection, enabling the analysis of Light Elements such as Mg, Al and Si without the need for complex vacuum or helium attachments. A truly huge step forward for hand-held X-ray fluorescence analysis.
