Portable XRF Analyzer

What is a Portable XRF Analyzer

A Portable XRF Analyzer is a handheld, non-destructive device that determines material composition. It works by emitting X-rays that interact with a sample, causing atoms to fluoresce and emit unique secondary X-rays, which the analyzer then detects and quantifies. It helps jewelers, recyclers, manufacturers, and geologists by providing on-site, instant identification of elements, preventing fraud, ensuring quality control, and enabling rapid decision-making. This brings practical value through accurate valuation, efficient material sorting, and real-time verification in the field.

7 Safety Tips When Using Portable XRF Analyzers

While Portable XRF Analyzer utilizes low-dose X-rays and incorporate robust safety features, adhering to safety guidelines is paramount:

  1. Always Consult the Manual: Thoroughly read and follow all operating and safety instructions provided in the user manual.

  2. Keep Clear of the Beam: Never aim the analyzer's nosepiece or X-ray beam directly at yourself, other individuals, or animals. The X-ray beam is only active during analysis.

  3. Utilize Safety Accessories: For frequent testing of small or irregularly shaped samples, use a bench-top stand or small sample safety shield to minimize potential scattered radiation.

  4. Do Not Tamper with Detector Window: Never touch, modify, or attempt to clean the detector window with anything other than approved methods/materials.

  5. Operate in Appropriate Environments: Use the analyzer in a cool, dry place. Avoid flammable, explosive, or excessively humid environments.

  6. Maintain Power Levels: Avoid operating the device with critically low battery levels or from an unstable power supply. Ensure regular charging for optimal and safe performance.

  7. No Unauthorized Modifications: Do not attempt to modify the analyzer's software, calibration data, or internal hardware parameters without explicit authorization and guidance from VRAY's certified technicians.

FAQS about Portable XRF Analyzer

1. What is a portable XRF analyzer, and how does it differ from lab-based or benchtop XRF?

A portable XRF analyzer is a handheld device designed for instant, on-site elemental analysis and immediate decision-making. Unlike lab-based XRF, which offers a wider analytical range for confirmatory data in a controlled environment, portable units like VRAY's VR-H5 (1.6Kg) and VR-M5 (4.1Kg) prioritize mobility and quick on-spot results. Benchtop XRFs are ideal for in-depth, precise analysis in fixed lab settings, whereas portable models excel in flexibility for on-the-go testing.

2. What are the primary benefits and applications of choosing a portable XRF analyzer, especially VRAY's models?

Portable XRF analyzers offer unmatched flexibility for on-the-go analysis, allowing users to test items of any size or shape directly in the field, retail, or manufacturing line. VRAY's models provide rapid results (3-30 seconds) with high accuracy (e.g., VR-H5: 0.03% for 9999 gold), crucial for immediate quality control, fraud prevention, and accurate valuation. Their robust design ensures reliable performance across diverse environments (-20℃ to 50℃).

3. Are portable XRF analyzers safe to use?

Yes, portable XRF analyzers, including VRAY's models, are designed with multiple safety features like automatic X-ray shutdown when not in use and robust shielding, making them safe when used as instructed. Operators should always keep hands and eyes away from the analyzer nosepiece. For frequent testing of small or LD (low-density) samples, using a bench-top stand or small sample safety shield is recommended to minimize scattered radiation.

4. How much does a portable XRF analyzer from VRAY cost?

The price of a portable XRF analyzer can vary based on application, detector type, and features. VRAY's VR-H5 Handheld Gold Tester and VR-M5 Portable Gold Tester are competitively priced within the $15,000-$18,000 range. This price reflects advanced specifications like customized Si-Pin detectors, high accuracy, and integrated data management, offering excellent value for their performance.

5. What elements can VRAY's portable XRF analyzers detect?

VRAY's portable XRF analyzers, equipped with customized Si-Pin detectors from USA, are capable of non-destructively quantifying or qualifying a wide range of elements from Magnesium (Mg) to Uranium (U), depending on calibration. Specifically for precious metals, our models like the VR-H5 can detect 74 kinds of precious metal elements, including common ones like Au, Ag, Pt, Pd, Rh, Cu, Zn, and Ni, as well as heavy metals like lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and cadmium (Cd).
