Innov-X Systems - Handheld, Portable XRF Analyzers

Innov-X Systems was founded in early 2001 to revitalize the XRF industry with a pioneering approach to portable analyzers. When Innov-X delivered the world's first x-ray tube-based portable XRF, a new era in portable XRF began. We set XRF technology free to live outside the box.

Innov-X Systems' universal hardware platform can be configured for portable, benchtop, on-line, and OEM applications. Our line of accessories extends the reach of portable XRF analysis.

• Innov-X traditional pistol-shaped handheld analyzers
• The handheld analyzers dock into a testing stand for bench-top lab operation through a desk-top, lap-top or portable PC
• The handheld analyzers can be mounted onto a tripod - ideal for investigating paintings and pigments
• Ramp it up with a 50kV mobile XRF from Innov-X
• Innov-X offers multiple "box shaped" probes for bench-top, on-line and at-line measurement applications
• Innov-X modular, flexible hardware components allows rapid, inexpensive solutions for unique applications and OEM requirements

INNOV-X ALPHA SERIES™

Advantages of the Innov-X Alpha Series™ include:

• Tube-based system eliminates costly re-sourcing and loss of speed
• Multi-element analysis - in one measurement
• Definitive Positive / Negative classifications
• No isotope licensing or travel restrictions
• Ergonomic, lightweight design
• Versatile PDA platform
• Easily measures uneven surfaces

ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS DATA FOR THE MINING INDUSTRY

XRF is the standard technique used to acquire elemental analysis data for the mining industry. In the past, miners had to rely on the expensive and time consuming requirement of collecting samples and sending them to laboratories for analysis. Today, our portable tube-based XRF analyzer is fast becoming a critical device in a miner's on-site tool box.

With the Innov-X portable XRF, miners can now save time and money by on-site analysis of elements from phosphorus to uranium in solids, liquids, powders, cores, fragments, filters and films, and slurries.

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING FOR MINING COMPANIES

Most mining companies follow a sustainable development plan that helps minimize the environmental and health impact of the mining process. During smelting, unwanted slag material is analyzed for the natural metals that remain to be reported through the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-know Act (EPCRA). OSHA may require elemental analysis of ambient air on filters to monitor toxic dust exposure of miners.

The Innov-X portable XRF for elemental analysis meets EPA method 6200 for metals in soil, NIOSH method 7702 for lead in air filters, and OSHA methods OSSA1 and OSS1 for lead in air filters and dust wipes. The eight RCRA metals and priority pollutant metals are easily monitored on-site with the Innov-X portable XRF.

The Innov-X systems materials testing and mining analyzers include standard hardware and accessories. Capabilities available include fundamental parameters, empirical analysis, linear or quadratic calibration modes, leap for light element analysis, and single or multi-element analysis capability.
