X-550 for Geochemistry

Introducing SciAps X-500 Series, handheld XRF for geochemistry

FAST - LIGHT - POWERFUL

The SciAps X-550 is the new premium handheld XRF for the geochemistry industry. Weighing only 2.8 lbs. with battery, it's the lightest, fastest and most powerful handheld XRF on the market today.

The X-550 Advantage

• Small and light! Only 2.8 lbs
• Powerful X-ray tube
• Fast and precise
• Intuitive Android interface
• Wi-fi, Bluetooth and GPS
• Rugged and durable — designed to IP 54 specifications

‍

‍

Premium performance begins with the 5.5W X-ray tube, delivering best-in-class light element performance for ultra low detection limits of elements like Mg, Al, Si, P and S, while also packing enough power to achieve impressive precision on heavy elements like pathfinders Ag, Sn, Sb, and rare earth elements. Combined with the latest large area silicon drift detector technology and super tight X-ray geometry, the X-550 provides you with the best analytical performance with the shortest test times. And the new X-500 series software is more intuitive and capable than ever before – collect and interpret your data faster and make those critical decisions with confidence now!

‍Rugged? One of our X-550s just took a 35-foot fall—and was still testing! Now, that's the definition of durable.

‍

GPS Enabled

Use any GIS software or the SciAps cloud to easily visualize the chemistry of your site to make better decisions, faster. Just connect the GPS and start testing. The X-550 provides you with fast, accurate chemistry, and GPS tags the data so you know exactly where your samples were collected to give you a more complete understanding of your site. It all happens automatically, so there’s no need to sync up notes or datasets later. With a GPS connection, you’ll be able to make the most of your time spent in the field.

Performance and Flexibility

Dedicated software apps and targeted factory-built calibrations allow you to get great results right out of the box for any geochemistry application. Want to maximize accuracy for specific projects? SciAps knows there is no one-size-fits-all calibration for the wide range of matrix types and mineralization styles. And our software gives you the tools to optimize your work flow, quickly and easily.

Tune and customize your laser and X-ray calibrations to local geochemistry.

‍Profile Builder Opti-Cal walks you through the steps needed to make matrix-specific calibrations and seamlessly push them to your analyzer. Just create a new model, teach the software your calibration standards and shoot. Skip the complicated spreadsheets and hand-entering of user factors, and let Profile Builder do the work for you. You’ll be left with optimized calibration curves that will overcome any biases due to sample matrix effects.

View calibration curves and generate new ones, build highly customized models for your own elements of interest, overlay and compare mineral spectra, and more.

Handheld versatility with benchtop performance

For lab and field lab environments, the X-500 series mounted on the Test Stand can be operated through Profile Builder to create a benchtop analyzer, allowing you to crank through hundreds or even thousands of samples a day. The XRF test stand is designed for reliability, durability and safety, complete with interlocked lid for your protection and a super stable base to keep your samples positioned correctly regardless of what’s going on around you. Integrated fans to keep the analyzer cool even at the most extreme duty cycles and environments.
