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
