Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this XL3t 700 different from other XL3t analyzers?
The primary difference is the installed application package. This configuration includes Electronic Metals, Consumer Goods Plastics, Consumer Goods Metals & Ceramics, and TestAll, making it an excellent choice for electronics manufacturing, consumer product safety, and general material verification.
Can this analyzer be used for RoHS screening?
Yes. The installed applications make this analyzer well suited for rapid elemental screening in support of RoHS investigations and material verification programs. Accredited laboratory testing may still be required where certification is necessary.
Can this analyzer test more than just electronics?
Absolutely. While the Electronic Metals application is ideal for electronic components, the Consumer Goods applications allow this analyzer to evaluate plastics, metals, ceramics, glass, household products, toys, hardware, and many other consumer products.
Does handheld XRF damage the sample?
No. Handheld XRF is a completely non-destructive analytical technique that allows materials to be analyzed without cutting, altering, or damaging the sample.
Is this a refurbished analyzer?
