The SciAps PowerHouse RoHS combines the safety and convenience of a fully enclosed benchtop analyzer with the portability of a compact, battery-powered system. Designed specifically for RoHS and restricted metals testing, it delivers rapid, reliable analysis of lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium, bromine, chlorine, and other regulated elements in polymers, alloys, coatings, and consumer products.

For decades, radioactive isotope sources have been a standard technology for handheld lead paint XRF analysis. Today, X-ray tube technology provides another path: HUD-recognized performance with the operational advantages of a non-isotope instrument. When evaluating your next lead paint analyzer, don't just compare specifications. Look at the technology behind the measurement, the analyzer's HUD Performance Characteristic Sheet (PCS), and what ownership looks like over the life of the instrument.
