SciAps X-555 REE XRF Analyzer

SciAps X-555 REE XRF Analyzer – High-Performance, Ultra-Portable XRF Instrument

SciAps X-555 REE XRF Analyzer is one of the most powerful and versatile handheld XRF systems ever developed. Designed for professionals who demand laboratory-level performance in a lightweight and rugged portable device, the X-555 delivers exceptional analytical capability across a wide range of elements—from magnesium (Mg) to uranium (U).

At the core of the instrument is an advanced 55 kV / 200 µA X-ray tube, which provides significantly greater excitation energy than traditional 50 kV systems. This improvement allows the X-555 to achieve lower detection limits, faster measurement times, and superior sensitivity, especially for elements such as Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb, Ba, and both light and heavy rare earth elements. Whether in geochemistry, mining, environmental testing, metals analysis, recycling, or regulatory compliance, the X-555 provides highly accurate, repeatable results that meet the needs of modern industry and research.

Despite its power, the X-555 is exceptionally lightweight at only 2.98 lbs (1.35 kg), making it easy to operate for long periods in the field. The housing is built from aerospace-grade aluminum and engineered to withstand impact, vibration, extreme temperatures, and continuous field use. Combined with SciAps’ advanced internal heat-management system, the analyzer delivers stable performance even under harsh duty cycles or challenging environmental conditions.

The device runs on a fully integrated Android operating system, offering a modern, intuitive interface with fast navigation, customizable testing modes, smart calibration workflows, and automatic data backup options. Built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB ensure seamless connectivity for data transfer, cloud integration, and remote tech support. The X-555 also includes a 6-position filter wheel, enabling automatic beam optimization for every material type—from soils and ores to alloys, precious metals, and regulated consumer goods.

Compact, rugged, and engineered with high-end analytical components, the SciAps X-555 REE XRF Analyzer is the ideal solution for experts who require precision, speed, and durability in a single portable instrument.
