Two Platforms for Handheld
XRF Analyzers
Premium X
Lightweight. Durable. Ready for demanding applications. At 2.75 lbs., the X-5 Series features a predominantly metal frame designed for durability and extended use. Its narrow, slender form factor reaches challenging test locations, while the 2.7″ (68.6mm) display makes it easy to view grade and chemistry from the rear.
Value X
More capability. Less weight. Easy on the budget. The totally re-engineered X-200 and X-50 deliver fast, accurate XRF analysis with the performance and throughput of the X-Series. New improvements include enhanced heat dissipation, reduced weight, and a redesigned user interface.

SciAps Value
XRF Analyzers
The right mix of great performance and value.

Want the accuracy and throughput of the premium models, but in a lower-priced series of analyzers? Then consider the totally re-engineered “value” series, with improved heat dissipation, reduced weight, new user-interface. All internal electronics now use less power and operate at higher temperatures—no drift or shutdown.
New, lightweight design at 3.1 lbs. (1.4 kg) including batteries
Redesigned heat sinking, can now operate continuously up to 110F (43C) ambient temperatures
Up-to-date software, user interface, and full recalibration
X-200
The silicon drift-detector (SDD) model is competitively priced for every performance requirement. Only slightly heavier than the X-505/550 platform, but still with industry-leading speed and precision. The X-200 is the value version of the X-505.
X-50
The totally reengineered X-50 combines a cost-effective SDD detector with fast, high-precision XRF analysis. Designed to deliver strong analytical performance and rapid results across a broad range of applications, the X-50 brings efficient measurement to a compact, accessible platform.
Compare Our Value Models
X-200
Offers comparable speed/precision as top of the line competing brands, at a lower price point, in a smaller, lighter package. 40 kV, Rh anode (alloy) or 50 kV Au anode (Mining, Soil, others). 20 mm2 standard SDD and DPP. 125k cps, > 90% live.
Alloys: Best value where aluminum sorting is daily but not the major focus. Requires a 2nd beam test of 8-10s for Mg at 0.8% in Al base. Requires 5-6 second Beam 2 test time for Al, Si, S and P. Requires 15-20 seconds to measure 0.3-0.5% Mg in grades such 6063 or 356 or 3004.
Mining, Soils: Offers comparable precision, limits of detection and elemental range of other leading XRF brands, but in a lighter weight package, and at a lower price point.
X-50
Our most economical model. Great basic analysis of transition and heavy metals. 40 kV, Rh anode (alloy) or Au anode (Mining, Soil, others). 7 mm2 SDD, silicon drift detector, 15k cps, 50% live.
Alloys: Basic sorting of SS, high temps and red metals. Only sort Al alloys by MLCs, 2000s and 7000s.
Mining, Soils: Same element suite. Test times will be much longer to achieve same precision, but X-50 platform lower priced.
