How much does an XRF Analyzer Cost?
There are a wide variety of XRF analyzers on the market, ranging from handhelds and benchtop systems to larger, more advanced floor-standing models. While each type of instrument offers unique functionalities and performance capabilities tailored to different elemental analysis needs, benchtop analyzers can be an economical option for many users. Although the perception is that handhelds are always the most economical solutions, some simpler, portable benchtop systems typically fall within the same budget range of $30,000 to $60,000. This range provides an accessible entry point for users seeking reliable elemental analysis without the cost associated with higher-capability systems.
Portable XRF vs Handheld XRF; what offers me real value?
So, if benchtops are available for a similar price range as a handheld, what should be the decisive factor? Should you choose for the perception of easy zapping with an XRF gun to get a result? Or are there more aspects to consider when making the right decision? Key benefits of the portable Epsilon 1 over a handheld include:
- Easily switch between different sample types and compositions
- More stable and accurate measurement
- Automatic correction to ambient temperature and pressure fluctuations
- Reduce costs by eliminating unnecessary follow-up analysis
- Full X-Ray shielding, guaranteeing safe operation
