X-200 XRF Analyzer

The Workhorse. Our X-200 XRF analyzer is the perfect blend of high performance and attractive price.

The X-200 offers comparable or superior speed and performance to the top end analyzers from other brands. It uses a top-performing SDD combined with highly optimized X-ray tube and detector geometry. The X-200 is rapidly becoming the choice for scrap processing and non-destructive testing due to the speed and analytical performance combined with the lightweight, small form-factor design. It’s fast on every alloy family including aluminum alloys. For geochemical applications, it offers suites of elements for environmental, pathfinder, exploration and mining. Also available is the SciAps Empirical App for users that want to test other types of materials and generate their own calibration models. Analyzers may be factory calibrated with fundamental parameters, Compton Normalization (EPA Method 6200), or user defined empirical calibrations.

X-Ray Tube

40 kV, Rh anode (alloy) or 50 kV Au anode (Geochem, Soil, RoHS, others).

Detector, Rate

20 mm2 standard SDD and DPP. 125k cps, > 90% live.

Online purchase of this analyzer is offered to US customers only. Please consult SciAps sales at (339) 927-9455 for further details.

X-200 for Geochemistry

GeoChem & Soils

Offers comparable precision, limits of detection and elemental range of other leading XRF brands, but in a lighter weight package, and at a lower price point.

X-200 for Metals and Alloys

Metals & Alloys

Best value where aluminum sorting is daily but not the major focus. Requires a 2nd beam test of 8-10s for Mg at 0.8% in Al base. Requires 5-6 second beam 2 test time for Al, Si, S and P. Requires 15-20 s to measure 0.3-0.5% Mg in grades such 6063 or 356 or 3004.
