SciAps - Model X-550 Pb -Handheld XRF Analyzer
X-550 Pb Analyzer delivers the first non-isotope handheld XRF with accepted PCS at three action levels for HUD lead paint assessments. It employs an X-ray tube that uses an electric current under high voltage to produce X-rays. The latest X-ray tube and detector technology deliver the fastest and most accurate lead paint results. X-ray eliminates radioactive isotopes. No isotope replacement costs, isotope disposal costs, or regulatory and financial burden for owning and tracking radioactive materials. The PCS data set demonstrates the instrument’s ability to accurately identify samples as positive or negative according to the federal action level for residential lead paint, which is 1.0 milligrams of lead per square centimeter. The X-550 Pb also has accepted PCS at action limits of 0.7 mg/cm2 and 0.5 mg/cm2. According to the PCS, SciAps X-550 Pb delivered no false positives, no false negatives, and no inconclusive tests, even at the 0.5 mg/cm2 level (Rh anode).
The X Series is built on Google’s Android platform for real-time data exporting. The user interface has the feel of a smart phone with results easily viewed on a vibrant display and reversible light/dark for all lighting conditions. Built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and USB mean that users can print and email from the X-550 Pb and connect to virtually any information management system for efficient test data and report.
Multi-system users? SciAps Cloud data and fleet management system is also available. Collect and monitor lead paint measurements in real time, from anywhere. Eliminate the burden of exporting, cutting and pasting test data in spreadsheets and reports.
