Our X-550 sets a new performance standard for handheld XRF. Weighing 2.98 lbs. (1.3 kg) with the battery, it’s the lightest, fastest, most articulate XRF analyzer ever made. It delivers the small size, blazing speed and high precision of the X Series in a perfectly balanced device. It’s fast on all alloys, including aluminums. The X-550 uses the industry’s most powerful X-ray tube for NDT and recycled materials analysis, operating up to 3x the power in the Beam 2 setting compared to the our X-505 and other handheld XRF analyzers. The unique geometry and tube power optimize performance for low atomic number measurement applications including sulfidic corrosion (low Si), phosphorus and sulfur, and aluminum alloys, as well as for residuals analysis per API 751 and 5L specifications.

• X-Ray Tube: 40 kV, Rh anode (alloy) or 50 kV Au anode (Geochem, Soil, RoHS, others).
• Detector Rate: 20 mm2 standard SDD and DPP. 125k cps, > 90% live.

Both the Z and X handheld analyzers run on the same software platform, operating system, have the same user interface, same battery, and same charger making training and operation a breeze. Get them both when you purchase the ONEBOX package.

Bulk Samples and Microanalysis
The ONE BOX unites established X-ray technology for transition and heavy metals analysis with breakthrough handheld LIBS technology for the lightest of elements (Li, Be, B, C, F, Na, Mg, Al, Si). Sort your “lights” and ferrous lightning fast and accurately with the Z; your stainless, high temps and red metals with the X. Both the X and Z back up each other, so you’re ready for every situation.
