Handheld XRF - Portable Elemental Spectrometer

Handheld XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) spectrometers offer a broad elemental detection range—typically from Mg-U with some even having the abilities to detect Rare Earth Elements (REE). With advanced models, especially those equipped with silicon drift detectors (SDDs), even lighter elements like aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) can be accurately measured. This capability is crucial for industries that depend on precise material identification and quality control, such as scrap metal recycling, mining and exploration, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and environmental testing.

For businesses, the ability to instantly identify metals and alloys without damaging the sample can translate into major cost savings and increased efficiency. In recycling, handheld XRF helps sort and verify metal grades quickly, reducing load rejections and maximizing profit margins. In mining, it enables real-time geochemical mapping and ore grade control directly at the site. For manufacturers and fabricators, handheld XRF ensures incoming raw materials meet specifications, preventing costly mix-ups and ensuring product integrity. Even environmental consultants benefit from handheld XRF when screening soils and sediments for hazardous elements like lead (Pb), arsenic (As), or cadmium (Cd). By combining portability with lab-quality precision, handheld XRF analyzers empower businesses to make fast, informed decisions, reduce operational risks, and maintain compliance with industry standards. Whether you're analyzing ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, rare earth elements, or heavy metals, the broad elemental range of a handheld XRF spectrometer provides the versatility and reliability your operation needs.

Combustion Analyzers for C, S, O, N, & H Analysis

Combustion analyzers are precision instruments designed to measure low-level concentrations of carbon (C), sulfur (S), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H) in solid materials. These analyzers operate by oxidizing the sample in a high-temperature furnace and quantifying the resulting gases with infrared or thermal conductivity detectors. The elemental range—focused specifically on C, S, N, O, and H—makes combustion analysis the gold standard for trace-level detection in metals, ceramics, alloys, ores, and inorganic materials. This targeted elemental analysis is vital in industries where material purity and performance are critical, including steel production, foundries, aerospace, automotive, energy, and additive manufacturing.

For businesses, combustion analyzers provide unmatched accuracy and repeatability for quality control, product certification, and R&D. In metallurgy and steelmaking, they verify total carbon and sulfur levels that directly impact mechanical properties and weldability. In the aerospace and automotive sectors, they help ensure titanium and nickel alloys meet strict low-oxygen and low-hydrogen specifications, which is crucial to avoid material failure. Foundries rely on nitrogen and sulfur measurements for casting consistency and to prevent defects. Combustion analysis also supports compliance with international standards such as ASTM and ISO, giving manufacturers confidence in meeting global quality expectations. Whether you're analyzing high-purity materials or verifying melt compositions, combustion analyzers for C, S, N, O, and H provide a critical advantage—ensuring material integrity, minimizing risk, and maximizing production quality across a range of demanding applications.
