The next-generation xSort handheld energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer now comes in a smaller, lightweight package. The instrument offers improved analytical performance, the company says. The xSort is designed for high-throughput elemental testing and spectrochemical analysis of a wide range of metals and other materials in the field. The instrument is ideal for applications including positive material identification, environmental screening, compliance screening and recycling of metal alloys and precious metals. Features of the new version include an integrated video camera for precise spot testing and visual memory storage, and an integrated global positioning system that allows users to return quickly to previously checked locations. — Spectro Analytical Instruments GmbH, Kleve, Germany
