SciAps X-550 Pb Analyser — Handheld XRF Analyzer for Lead Paint & Elemental Testing
The SciAps X-550 Pb is a high-performance handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer specifically optimized for lead-based paint detection and multi-purpose elemental analysis. Combining fast, accurate results, rugged portability, and advanced connectivity, this model is ideal for environmental testing, compliance inspections, soil and RCRA analysis, alloy verification, and regulatory fieldwork. It sets a new standard among handheld XRF instruments by eliminating the need for radioactive sources and delivering rapid measurements in seconds.
Designed for Lead Paint Compliance & More
The X-550 Pb is the only handheld XRF lead paint analyzer accepted by HUD and EPA that does not use radioactive isotopes, reducing regulatory burden and long-term costs associated with licensing, transportation, and disposal. Its powerful X-ray tube and advanced detector deliver precise, repeatable results for lead in paint and other applications without the need for substrate corrections or inconclusive ranges.
