The portable scientific analyzers use as principle of operation XRF spectrometry (X-Ray Fluorescence), and are engineered for quick a qualitative and quantitative analysis of alloys, geological and environmental samples. This method is non destructive and fast, allows the analysis of many elements simultaneously, and is applied for a range of concentrations.

Analyzers rapidly determine those elements present in the sample and their relative concentrations – in other words, the elemental chemistry of the sample. For samples with known ranges of chemical composition, such as common grades of metal alloys, the analyzer also identifies most sample types by name, typically in seconds.
