Used for detecting lead (Pb) content to meet regulations such as RoHS and Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), Quick-Shot XRF can also perform precious metal analysis and alloy identification. Testing method is not limited by product size or location, and detection reaches below parts-per-million (ppm) levels determined hazardous in CPSIA regulation. Removable PDA offers immediate review of results, which may be transferred to any computer via Bluetooth.
Eastern Applied Research Offering Low-Cost Handheld XRF Analyzer
Buffalo, NY - Handheld XRF Analyzers have become the first choice for companies testing for lead content in order to meet various hazardous substance regulations because of the instruments portability and affordability. In order to offer a complete range of instrument options, Eastern Applied Research, Inc has added a handheld system to their product line-up. The Quick-Shot XRF System was added specifically for detecting lead content to meet various regulations (CPSIA, RoHS) but also performs precious metal analysis and alloy identification.
With the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) affecting retailers, manufacturers and importers of large and small children's products the handheld analyzers provide a testing method that is not limited by a products size or location. The Quick-Shot XRF from Eastern Applied Research detects well below the parts-per-million (ppm) levels determined hazardous in the CPSIA regulation, is light-weight, durable and low-cost.
The analyzer utilizes micro-components that are powerful enough to perform with accuracy, sensitivity and repeatability. The 40kV micro x-ray tube and a Si-PIN detection system are powered by a rechargeable Lithium battery, making mobile analysis of Sulfur (S) to Uranium (U) possible. A removable high-definition PDA allows the user to direct software with simple touch-screen use and offers immediate review of results. For long-term storage and analysis the results are transferable to any computer using Bluetooth technology.
"Despite the one-year stay of enforcement in the CPSIA, many organizations are still interested in an affordable lead screening method so that they are prepared for when the regulation takes effect, so we have received a lot of interest for that testing" stated Shawn Kramer, Sales Manager for Eastern Applied Research. "However, the analyzer also offers solutions to other testing needs that require mobile analysis."
Precious metal analysis is another major application that resulted in Eastern Applied offering a handheld system. As gold prices continue to increase more organizations are looking for new methods to collect scrap jewelry and accurately determine the full precious metal concentration on site. The portability of the Quick-Shot XRF from Eastern Applied lets users go to various locations and collect scrap jewelry; while being able to accurately determine the precious metal content.
For over thirty years, Eastern Applied Research has provided a complete solution for companies looking for knowledgeable XRF Sales, Service and Support. In addition to the new handheld analyzer, the company offers a variety of new and reconditioned desktop instruments. Services include on-site certification and repairs, third-party testing for lead content and an accredited reference standards laboratory.
