ProSpector 3 – Handheld XRF Analyzer for Versatile Applications
The fastest, lightest and smallest XRF gun on the market
Four times faster. Twice lower detection limits. Twice better precision. One and a half times lighter. 40% Improved light elements capabilities. Full range of applications: PMI, Alloys, Precious metals, Archeometry, Petrochemical, Soils, Plastics, Automotive catalysts etc.
Accuracy
With powerful hardware and unique software algorithms, the ProSpector 3 offers twice better precision and accuracy of elemental analysis for a wide range of materials.
Speed
Dynamically Adaptive Shaping (DAS) DPP developed by Elvatech combined with the ultrafast CSA SDD detector makes the ProSpector 3 four times faster than any other handheld XRF analyzer on the market.
Stability
Thanks to the digiX-50 digital X-Ray source, automatic temperature and barometric corrections, and digital calibration adjustment, ProSpector 3 offers long-life reproducibility of the analysis without the need to re-calibrate the system.
Benefits
- World’s fastest XRF analyzer (throughput above 500 000 cps – more than four times faster than any other handheld XRF) – highest accuracy within the shortest measurement time, excellent precision
- World’s smallest (236 х 193 х 68 mm), and lightest (1.05 kg with a battery) handheld analyzer – easy to operate
- Dustproof and waterproof instrument body, with IP-67 ingress protection rating – ProSpector 3 can be operated even under water!
- Automatic collimator changer for small spot analysis of jewelry, welds etc.
- Folding display – for easy operation in the lab stand without connecting to a PC
- Highest mobility – up to 16 hours of autonomous operation on a single battery charge, hot battery swap
- Superior calibration stability, compensation of influence of ambient temperature and pressure variations – no need to spend time for calibration
- Two CCD cameras for macro and micro view
- Scanning barcodes (commodity EAN and UPC codes, QR codes, book ISBN codes, Databar, Codabar, etc.) that contain information about the sample: name, number, code, etc.
- Full compatibility with ElvaXTM PC software
- Radiation safety: proximity sensor and low count rate detection
- Great choice of accessories for comfortable work.
Data can be transferred from ProSpector 3 to a PC directly via USB, WiFi or Bluetooth connection. MicroSD socket is also available for data storage and transfer. The detector shield protects detector window, the most fragile part of the instrument, from being punctured by sharp objects like wires, shavings etc.
