*High Readout Rate, High-Speed Measurements, Best Value in Handheld XRF* Dirk Wissmann, Product Manager for XRF instruments at SPECTRO, explains: “Depending on the task, users can utilize the high readout rate to measure with the xSORT much faster than with other instruments, or use traditional measurement times and achieve significantly better detection limits and accuracy.”

The modern silicon drift detector (SDD) used in the xSORT handheld XRF analyzer processes signals up to ten times faster than the detectors conventionally used in handheld XRF instruments. With just a few seconds testing time, it non-destructively analyzes the content of all important elements between magnesium and uranium contained in a sample. The SPECTRO xSORT, weighing just 1.7 kilograms (3.7 lbs), is an analytical instrument for rapid, nondestructive XRF screening analyses. First introduced to the market in September of 2008, SPECTRO xSORT’s original metal analysis capabilities have been expanded to include applications for RoHS compliance and lead screening as well as for the examination of soil in environmental testing and the direct analysis of ores, concentrates and tailings. As a premier consulting and sales organization dedicated to providing laboratory and field analytical solutions to the environmental, mining, and lead-free industries, we are are happy to offer a new range of application soultions for the SPECTRO xSORT handheld XRF. is proud to announce the introduction of the SPECTRO xSORT handheld XRF non-alloy analyzers to the U.S. Tustin, CA, December 2009 – Geotechnical Services, Inc.
