The X-50 Mobile XRF tests Cd to 1 ppm in many sample types, 10 ppm in alloys. Ideal for RoHS Packaging Directive, which requires sum of Cd, Hg, Pb, Cr less than 100 ppm. The Inspector Series XRF tests Pb content in solder and parts. Alerts users to banned metals using pass/fail criteria and documents total Cr, Br, Pb, Hg, and Cd. Angled front display plus rear display for easy viewing of test results; no wipe tests; said to eliminate the liability of isotope control, improper use, theft and disposal.

Hawk Micro XRF benchtop analyzers deliver identification and elemental analysis from Ch to U. Use collimated beam of 13 to 0.2 mm diameter, with laser beam focusing. Ideal for testing small or nonhomogeneous samples. Applications include RoHS compliance analysis for electronics, PCB and components. Reportedly can perform standard-less quantitative analysis with statistical accuracy. Movable X-Y stage affords precise measurements across samples. A color CCD camera enables digital snapshots with magnification of up to 68X; combined with the laser spot tool, enables digital pictures to be analyzed and stored. Includes a large testing chamber, X-ray tube source and Si PiN-diode detector interfaced to a PC.
