Hitachi Oxford X-Met 8000 Expert Geo Handheld XRF Analyzer

Description

Hitachi Oxford X-Met 8000 Expert Geo Handheld XRF Analyzer

Hitachi Oxford X-Met 8000 Expert Geo Handheld XRF Analyzer designed for the on-site screening of environmental sediments and soils. The X-MET8000 Geo allows environmental testing to be carried out quickly and at high volumes, reducing the level of lab analysis required and the cost associated with it.

The X-MET8000 Geo uses novel BOOST technology, which means the system has detection limits that are low enough for the fast and accurate measurement of critical elements (e.g., US EPA Method 6200 RCRA and priority elements).

The system has integrated GPS that allows analysis results to be combined with geolocation data for the creation of site maps with contaminant locations. The geodata provided uses Trimble receivers to provide accurate localized data.
