ElvaX

The Next Generation Desktop EDXRF Spectrometer

Engineered to meet the growing demand for precise qualitative and quantitative analysis of solids, liquids and powders, ElvaX delivers the precision and accuracy of expensive stationary lab spectrometers for a fraction of the price of comparable performance systems.
Capable of detecting Na(11)  U (92) in a wide range of elemental concentrations, ElvaX provides ultimate versatility for a vast array of modern industrial and scientific applications in which elemental composition has to be known in a  matter of minutes.
With a completely automated measuring process and an intuititive, user-friendly interface, ElvaX is simple to operate for even the novice user. No time-consuming specimen preparation is required, and samples may be of any shape.
For the past decade this unique tool has been widely used in Europe, US, Russia, Middle East, India and many other countries worldwide.
