By combining XRF technology, Raman spectroscopy, and advanced analytical algorithms, this portable XRF and Raman analyzer provides fast, sensitive, and versatile analysis with minimal or no sample preparation. It is well suited to pharmaceutical testing, chemical analysis, polymer identification, food and cosmetics inspection, biomedical applications, gem identification and regulatory enforcement. The system provides a practical solution where both elemental composition and molecular structure information are required, helping laboratories, manufacturers and inspection teams improve analytical efficiency and make faster decisions.
Key Features & Benefits
Dual XRF and Raman Analysis
Combine elemental composition analysis and molecular identification in one analytical platform. XRF provides elemental information, while Raman spectroscopy identifies materials based on their molecular structure and characteristic spectral fingerprints.
Rapid Analysis with Minimal Sample Preparation
Designed for fast screening and identification, the system supports simple preparation or no sample preparation for many applications, reducing analysis time and improving testing efficiency.
Six-Sample Automatic Sampling Platform
The integrated automatic sample-loading system can analyze up to six samples sequentially, enabling unattended operation and improving productivity during routine screening and field inspection.
Fixed Sample Loading Design
Unlike conventional handheld spectrometers, the fixed sample-loading structure eliminates the need for manual focusing. This helps reduce operator interference while maintaining optical stability, measurement consistency, and reproducibility.
Closed Sample Chamber
The enclosed sample chamber incorporates radiation shielding and safety interlocks. Its design also helps reduce the influence of visible light and fluorescence on Raman background signals, supporting improved spectral quality and analytical accuracy.
Industrial-Grade Touchscreen
A built-in 5.7-inch industrial color touchscreen provides an intuitive interface and can be operated while wearing gloves or in challenging field environments.
Integrated Data Management
The instrument supports 4G, Wi-Fi, USB and Bluetooth connectivity. A dedicated application enables detection data to be transmitted, managed and shared efficiently between the instrument and connected systems.
Modular and Upgradeable
The system can be adapted to different inspection and enforcement requirements. Application modules can support areas such as pharmaceutical traceability, production ingredients and packaging-related information.
