THE INNOV-X TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGE
Daily Proof of Durability!
At Innov-X Systems, we engineered our Handheld XRF from the ground up for real-time, reliable elemental analysis wherever needed. X-ray tubes have long been proven to be the most versatile, high performing excitation sources for XRF analysis. We harnessed that energy and integrated it with the rapidly evolving technology of portable and wireless computers to introduce the first handheld system designed around a miniature x-ray tube. Some companies trying to follow our lead have simply wedged a tube into a unit intended for isotopes.
Critical to the Innov-X design is our novel shock-proof mounting and heat-sinking mechanism for the x-ray tube. This eliminates heat-related tube failures that plague other portable XRF systems. Our design also accommodates wide ambient temperature swings, without which tube sparking can occur and thus lead to tube or board failure.
Daily Proof of Durability!
- Petrochemical techs routinely measure 800° F plus surfaces in the heat and humidity of the Gulf Coast.
- Metal recyclers perform thousands of tests per week to sort scrap metal.
- UN inspectors travel with it throughout the Middle East's demanding, hot and dusty environments.
- Analysts perform tests in the arctic temperatures of oil sands in Northern Canada.
