SciAps Benchtop Test Stand—The Ultimate Closed-Beam Workstation for Your X500-Series Handheld XRF
The SciAps Benchtop Test Stand is designed for the X500 platform, including X550, X550Pb, X555, and X505 models. Its 4.25" x 4.25" x 4.25" sample chamber accommodates sample cups and materials requiring extended test times. This stand enables remote operation of your SciAps handheld XRF from a PC, providing continuous power for all-day use. Integrated fans ensure effective cooling during prolonged testing or in warm environments. The closed-beam, safety-interlocked design enhances safety by virtually eliminating x-ray exposure risks, making it ideal for precise, secure benchtop analysis.
Why This Stand Belongs in Your Lab & Field Station
| Attribute | Benefit |
|---|---|
| 4.25 × 4.25 × 4.25 in (108 mm) Sample Chamber | Ideal cube geometry for 32 mm sample-cup holders, pressed pellets, filters and other specimens that need extended acquisition times. |
| True Closed-Beam Design | Interlocked lid automatically disables X-rays when open, virtually eliminating operator exposure risk and simplifying regulatory compliance. |
| Remote PC Control | Operate the XRF through SciAps Profile Builder or the standard USB/BT link—view spectra, switch apps and export data without handling the gun. |
| Integrated Power Supply | Continuous AC power keeps your analyzer running all day—no battery swaps, no downtime. |
