Description
The SciAps X-505 Desktop Test Stand is designed to support hands-free, stable analysis with the SciAps X-505 handheld XRF analyzer. It provides a controlled testing setup for samples that are difficult to measure consistently by hand, including bagged soils, powders, small parts, and prepared samples.
The desktop test stand is commonly used in offices, labs, and field trailers where repeatability, longer test times, and improved measurement consistency are required.
Typical Applications
- Soil sample testing using sample cups or bags
- Environmental screening in office or trailer settings
- Repeatable measurements for QA/QC checks
- Testing small, irregular, or prepared samples
