Oxford Instruments Portable and Hand Held X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Analysers for Mining & Soil Analysis

 

At the pull of a trigger, Oxford Instruments’ hand-held X-MET5000 and X-MET5100 X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysers deliver fast, highly accurate on-site sample screening and analysis.

Both analysers provide real-time data in seconds, for:

  • Ore exploration
  • On-site excavation control
  • Mine mapping
  • Process monitoring: concentrates, tailings etc.
  • Environmental control

What’s more, X-MET enables precise portable GPS integration for real-time ore exploration and mine mapping.

High performance

  • Single-shot analysis of all important elements in ore exploration:
    Fe, Cu, Cr, Zn, Pb, Mn, Ni, Co, Mo, Ta, W etc.
  • Al, Si, P, S analysis of prepared samples, without vacuum or He attachments! (X-MET5100)
  • Advanced automatic matrix correction

Features of the X-MET 5000 / 5100 range

  •  Highly accurate ore analysis from Al to U 
  • Reliable Al, Si, P, S analysis without vacuum or helium attachments 
  • Measure directly on drill core sample 
  • Certified IP54 NEMA 3 splash and dust proof 
  • Results obtained in seconds 
  • Highly accurate and repeatable sample analysis 
  • Optional easy-to-use software for unbeatable accuracy 
  • Universal Fundamental Parameter analysis mode for measurement of ores without known standards
  • Go/No-Go user configurable result format
  • User interface in >10 languages
  • Rapid data transfer to PC

Top of the range X-MET5100 combines Oxford Instruments’ groundbreaking Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) with a powerful 45kV X-ray tube. This cutting edge technology delivers a

five times faster measurement speed, much better detection limits and significant accuracy improvement over conventional systems.

Isn’t it time you used X-MET to improve your productivity and screening confidence?

Oxford Instruments Benchtop X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) for Mining & Soil Analysis

 

The  Oxford Instruments’ X-Supreme8000 is a highly flexible, compact, powerful energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer suitable for use throughout the mining process from initial on-site exploration and verification to laboratory analysis.

Analysis in 3 Easy Steps:

1. Minimal or no sample preparation

  • No weighing or volumetric measurements
  • No potentially dangerous chemicals 
  • Non-destructive analysis

2. Easy loading  

  • 10 integrated autosampler positions for time saving unattended operation
  • Unique design guarantees high precision, repeatable results from every position 
  • Tested to 1 million cycles, fully loaded – equivalent to 15 years of operation at 200 samples per day

3. Rapid results

  • Simultaneous single or multi-element analysis with ‘Live Updates’ – results obtained 5 seconds after measurement starts, allowing rapid assessments to be made
  • Results obtained using empirical calibrations for highest accuracy and traceability. Optional Standardless (Fundamental Parameter) Analysis where no or very few standards are available
  • Rugged and reliable for 24/7 operation
