The SPECTRO xSORT XHH04 is a handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer designed for fast and accurate metal testing, capable of identifying 46 elements across 16 metal matrices in just 2 seconds (7 seconds for light elements such as Al, Si, or Mg). It offers on-site calibration for specific applications, optimized ergonomics for all-day single-hand operation, an easy-to-read display, and fast Android-based software. Equipped with GPS, camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, USB, and microSD, it enables full documentation and data transfer, and can be transformed into a mini-lab when connected to its docking station.

Ideal for metal testing and quality control of iron-, aluminum- and copper-based samples; as well as dedicated solder bath analysis Ultra-fast one sample standardization – based on SPECTRO´s Intelligent Calibration Logic (iCAL) – saves on average 30 minutes per day Industry unique app-like concept for user-friendly software operation The SPECTROCHECK stationary metal analyzer is specifically designed to meet the performance requirements — and the budgets — of small and medium-size foundries and machining operations. This high-quality, compact, affordable instrument is ideal for routine analysis of elemental content in iron-, aluminum-, and copper-based metals. Companies using SPECTROCHECK can assure their customers that their metals have been reliably tested to meet the most rigorous specifications for content and quality.

SPECTROLAB S - SPECTRO, the arc/spark innovation leader, has spent 40-plus years developing superlative OES instruments. Recently it’s perfected solid-state detectors using proprietary CMOS+T technology to revolutionize high-end arc/spark OES analysis — with SPECTROLAB S. This instrument’s efficiency and economy are continuously improved by systematic voice-of-customer inputs and rigorous usability testing. So now a fully reimagined software suite brings even more functional, customizable ease of use. Argon consumption is reduced by up to 50 % in standby mode and by 13 % when measuring samples. A fast analysis program enables 12-second measurement of main alloying elements in some key metals. And trace limits of detection (LODs) for high-purity copper are improved by 30 %. SPECTROLAB S is designed to supply the fastest possible measurements; greatest throughput; lowest limits of detection; longest uptime; and most future-proof flexibility available. It’s the instrument of choice for primary and secondary metal producers, automotive and aerospace manufacturers, and makers of finished and semifinished goods.

SPECTROMAXx – The Metal Analyzer of Choice – Worldwide - Ideal for routine analysis and precise analysis of all incoming/outgoing materials and for process control (including Nitrogen) in foundries – covering 10 matrices, 65 methods and 54 elements, at low operating costs and minimal maintenance requirements - Simple standardization with only one sample – based on SPECTRO´s Intelligent Calibration Logic (iCAL) – saves on average 30 minutes per day - Excellent ease of use for effortless operations – simplified operator view presents clear choices via dedicated toolbar buttons

-Unlike handheld XRF, the SPECTROPORT accurately analyzes elements like C, P, S, B, Li, Be, Ca, Si, Mg and Al even at low and critical levels, in only a maximum of 10s -Consistent results with unique new iCAL 2.0 one sample standardization combined with self-adjusting optical system – resilient to ambient temperature changes and saves on average 30 minutes per day -Effortless point-and-shoot analysis, battery powered operation – up to 800 measurements on a single charge When handhelds aren’t enough, the amazing new SPECTROPORT portable metal analyzer applies more advanced OES technology — in a unit as easy to use as a handheld analyzer. SPECTROPORT delivers many advantages of SPECTRO’s portable OES flagship, SPECTROTEST, in a smaller, lighter package. It accurately analyzes elements such as carbon, sulfur, phosphorus, and boron. It’s as fast as an XRF, with many analyses taking only a few seconds. And it enables effortless point-and-shoot performance, to minimize operator intervention and decision-making. It adds the convenience and simplicity of the best handheld analyzers to the accuracy and wide analytical range of SPECTRO’s renowned OES technology. You get fast, ready response; flexible portability; intuitive ease of use; and minimal standardization efforts. Predefined calibration packages and the new SPECTRO exclusive iCAL 2.0 calibration logic system eliminate repeated calibrations and delays. Perform a single-sample standardization (less than 5 minutes) at the start of the day’s testing and you’re all set. Your iCAL diagnostics ensure stable performance throughout a typical day. And now iCAL 2.0 helps maintain the same standardization — regardless of most temperature shifts.
