Oxford X-MET Portable XRF Mining and Environmental Analyzer
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
Oxford Instruments offers two models of its popular
portable XRF for Mining, Minerals, Soils and Environmental
Analysis.
The XMet is the best balanced and most ergonomic
handheld XRF on the market with the smallest nose to get
into the tightest measurement locations.
The same analyzer can also be used for testing Metal
Alloys, Precious Metals, Plastics, Electronics and more with
additional optional calibrations.

Material Analyzers
Both models come with Fundamental Parameters (FP) routines designed for specific tasks in
mineral and soil analysis. A unique and easy to use empircal calibration software is also
available for more accurate analysis or to replicate methods and techniques used in (NEMA 3)
approved for superior dust and splash protection. The battery operating time of one working
day is unique and enables extended productivity without returning to base.
The X-MET5100 hand-held XRF analyser assures rapid, on-site laboratory quality chemical
analysis and can reliably analyse Light Elements such as Al, Si and Mg without the need for
helium tanks or vacuum pump attachments. Powerful Light Element capability combined with
high performance components provide best-in-class detection limits and measuring speed.
X-MET5100 combines Oxford Instruments’ groundbreaking Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) with a
powerful 45kV X-ray tube. This cutting edge technology delivers a five times faster
measurement speed, much better detection limits and a significant accuracy improvement over
conventional Si-PIN detector based systems.
What’s more, X-MET enables precise portable GPS integration for real-time ore exploration,
mine mapping, reclamation mapping and more. X-MET can integrate with the Trimble and ESRI
high-precision GPS systems like TerraSync and ArcGIS for sub-foot accuracy.
