What Olympus Delta XRF Analyzers Typically Sell For

Older Olympus Delta and Innov-X analyzers are still traded on the secondary market, particularly for basic alloy identification and scrap applications.

Typical selling range from broken to working:

Olympus Delta / Innov-X XRF analyzers: $500 - $4,000

Working units in usable condition typically fall toward the higher end of this range.

Non-working analyzers, including units with detector issues, X-ray tube failure, or power problems, are generally valued near the lower end, but may still have resale or parts value.

Brand History (Why Your Analyzer Still Has Value)

Many sellers are unsure what brand their analyzer falls under.

Here’s how the lineage works:

  • Innov-X Systems → original manufacturer
  • Acquired by Olympus
  • Became Evident (Olympus Scientific Solutions)
  • Now part of Wabtec

Because of this transition, your analyzer may be labeled under any of these names—but they are all part of the same product evolution.

What Affects the Value of Older XRF Analyzers

Several factors determine resale potential:

Working vs Non-Working Condition

Fully operational units are easier to resell, but even non-working units may still have value.

Detector and X-Ray Tube Condition

Failures in these components significantly reduce value due to high repair costs.

Model Age

Older units may have limited support but can still be useful for basic applications.

Accessories Included

Chargers, batteries, and cases can help improve resale value.

Can You Sell a Broken Olympus Delta?

Yes, even if your analyzer is not working, it may still have value.

We regularly evaluate units with:

  • Detector failure
  • X-ray tube issues
  • Battery or power problems

Repairs for major components can cost up to $10,000, which is often more than the value of the unit, making selling the better option.
