New White Papers For Handheld-Xrf Instrument

With rapid, non-destructive screening analyses in laboratory quality, the Spectro xSORT handheld XRF instrument has definitely convinced users in many industries since its introduction in 2009. In four new white papers, Spectro now documents use of the compact specialist in environmental and compliance analysis as well as in the metal processing and metal trading industries. Environmental analysis plays a key role in fighting environmental contamination. The Spectro xSORT analyses waste, soil, wood and building material quickly and without sample preparation. With the shortest of measuring times, the instrument measures the contents of many important elements and is optimised for the highest of throughputs.

More and more laws around the world define maximum values for elements and/or element bonds in everyday products in order to minimize the effects of harmful substances. The Spectro xSORT recognises relevant elements such as lead, chromium, mercury, cadmium, bromine and many more. It delivers laboratory-quality measurement results within a few seconds and, as a non-destructive system, is suited to the screening of products that are intended for resale. Use of the wrong material in production and plant engineering can have grave consequences. The Spectro xSORT reliably identifies materials that cannot be optically or tactilely differentiated. The instrument determines the material grade at the press of a button and provides certainty to users in incoming inspections and shipping.

The sorting of scrap metal with the Spectro xSORT is performed in a flash. The instrument is ergonomic, enabling fatigue-free onsite use. Simple operation makes the robust Spectro xSORT practicable even for non-technical personnel.
