SpectroSCOUT portable ed-xrf analyzer The assay lab that goes anywhere fast, accurate analysis of precious metals on the spot Spectroscout Jewelers, recyclers, and refiners of precious metals and alloys require elemental analytical capabilities that fit their challenging business conditions. Affordability is always key. Small operators have comparatively little cash for equipment. Larger concerns face constant pressure to keep costs low and profits high. However, affordability must still buy good performance. Percentages of gold, silver, and other precious metal alloys must be determined quickly and accurately, so that advantageous deals can be struck. Finally, analytical equipment must suit the site. It should be small enough for portability and for crowded workspaces, and easy to use by jewelry shop and recycling personnel with wide variations in education and training. Now there is a proven, onsite solution providing laboratory-class results that are affordable, fast, and easy. The new SPECTROSCOUT analyzer is the assay lab that goes anywhere. sPEctRoscout PoRtABLE ENERGY DIsPERsIVE X-RAY FLuoREscENcE (ED-XRF) ANALYZER SPECTROSCOUT incorporates much of the elemental analytical power of advanced benchtop laboratory XRF analyzers like the SPECTRO MIDEX, while approaching the easy portability of a SPECTRO xSORT handheld instrument. Thus SPECTROSCOUT is the instrument to deliver fast, dependable, truly lab-quality results on the spot - all at surprisingly low cost.

Spectroscout the advantage of science To portable precious metals analysis, SPECTROSCOUT brings lab-class advantages such as TQ screening methods and optional customer-specific calibrations. Perhaps most importantly, it carries the acknowledged validity of science itself. For example, the instrument’s reliably accurate readouts can boost confidence for less expert users - and reassure FAMILIAR INTERFACE customers who might be uneasy with Like the popular SPECTRO xSORT valuations based on traditionally handheld analyzer, SPECTROSCOUT subjective touchstone assays. is operated by a touchscreen inter- first results are displayed after a few face with simple displays and only two menu levels.

For an even more precise analysis the measurement is continued until the preset time is elapsed. To achieve a high degree of safety each sample is tested for 21 elements simultaneously. coMPAct DEsIGN Configured to carry, the unit fits myriad features into one small space: large sample compartment, high-power X-ray tube, and onboard processor, plus high-yield battery pack. Its footprint is ideal for crowded counters, benchtops, and other areas where space is tight. GLoBAL suPPoRt Jewelry assayers and recycling operations depend on the ready availability of accurate analytical answers to meet their goals for productivity — and profitability.
