Fast, Reliable, Accurate Analysis at the Point of Production

Nowadays, many organisations maintain high power wavelength-dispersive XRF or ICP spectrometers in their laboratories to determine elemental compositions. Unfortunately, transporting samples from line to lab wastes precious time. Others locate the spectrometers at the line, risking impaired operation or failure of these sensitive instruments in the production environment.

To offer an escape from this dilemma, SPECTRO Analytical Instruments (Hong Kong) recently introduced the new portable SPECTROSCOUT X-ray fluorescence spectrometer that brings laboratory-quality elemental composition monitoring and quality control testing to at-line analysis. The durable and compact analyser delivers reliable and highly precise results with the power of a top-grade laboratory bench top instrument in an easily transportable design. The SPECTROSCOUT is ideal for manufacturers and processors of such products as chemicals, cosmetics, feedstocks, foods, metal coatings, and pharmaceuticals among others.

Employing the SPECTROSCOUT for at-line analysis dramatically enhances QC productivity by eliminating time spent transporting samples from the plant floor to the laboratory to wait in queue for testing. In contrast, the SPECTROSCOUT can deliver audit-traceable results directly from the manufacturing floor. Moreover, it is a much more affordable alternative as an at-line installation than larger and more costly laboratory instruments, and it can be operated with minimal introductory training.
