Description
Hitachi X-MET8000 Expert is a handheld XRF (X-ray fluorescence) 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 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.
Key Benefits
- Provides Results in Seconds: Using the system’s standard soil calibration up to 40 different elements can be measured at the same time with minimal sample preparation, with the results delivered in a matter of seconds.
- Make Measurements and Screenings On-Site: The X-MET’s portability means it can be used to measure samples across the site, so users don’t need to wait on lab results and can make decisions on the spot.
- Little Training Required: The system can be used straight away and is operated by an intuitive point and shoot system.
- Data Management: The data collected and associated reports can be downloaded to a USB or shared to a computer or network, in CSV format or as a tamper-proof PDF, via WiFi.
- Comfortable to Use: The Hitachi X-MET8000 Expert ergonomic design, low weight of 1.5 kg and long battery life of 10-12 hours means it can be used for long, uninterrupted time periods.
- Low Ownership Cost: The system’s rugged design means it can be used in all weather conditions and tough environments.
