Hitachi X-MET 8000 Expert Geo Handheld XRF Analyzer

Hitachi X-MET 8000 Expert Geo: Advanced Handheld XRF Analyzer for Environmental Screening

The Hitachi X-MET 8000 Expert Geo is a handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer designed for rapid, on-site environmental soil and sediment testing. Ideal for high-volume analyses, it significantly reduces the need for costly laboratory testing while providing precise, reliable results.

The X-MET8000 range of handheld X-ray fluorescence analyzers delivers the performance needed for rapid alloy grade identification and accurate chemistry of a wide variety of materials (solid and powder metals, polymers, wood, solutions, soil, ores, minerals etc). The X-MET handheld XRF analyzer (HHXRF) is practical, robust and easy to use to deliver results you can trust.

Why Choose the X-MET 8000 Expert Geo

Fast and Accurate On-Site Analysis

With its large-area silicon-drift detector (SDD) and revolutionary BOOST™ technology, the X-MET 8000 delivers up to 10 times the sensitivity of conventional handheld XRF devices. This ensures low limits of detection for critical elements, including those listed in US EPA Method 6200 RCRA.

Integrated GPS for Precise Site Mapping

The built-in GPS allows users to combine geolocation data with analysis results, creating flawless contaminant maps. Compatibility with Trimble® receivers ensures even higher location accuracy.

Superior performance

The X-MET XRF analyzer provides great light elements (Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl) analysis, low limits of detection, and outstanding precision for results you can trust, day after day.

Test a wide range of materials with its versatile standardless fundamental parameters (FP) methods, or use its empirical calibrations when results traceability and superior accuracy are needed.

Robust for low cost of ownership
IP54 compliant (equivalent to NEMA 3), splash water and dust proof, you can use the X-MET confidently indoors or outdoors.

Tested to the MIL-STD-810G military grade standard for robustness.

Its optional shield prevents costly detector repairs when measuring rough surfaces.

Easy to use
With its large touchscreen and icon-driven user interface, the user training required to operate the X-ray spectrometer analyzer is minimal.

Superb ergonomics
Light (it’s only 1.5kg), compact, and balanced, you can use the X-MET for long periods of time with minimum fatigue.

Advanced data management
Total flexibility: Store up to 100,000 results on-board the X-MET, export reports on a USB flash drive or a PC, or automatically store the X-MET data securely in the ExTOPE Connect.
