It significantly reduces testing costs!
• Pre-screen samples: minimize spend for off-site laboratory testing.
Fast and portable: reliable results in seconds
• Increase tests density for better-informed decision making.
• Time savings: complete surveys faster - no need to wait for lab results (from hours to days/weeks).
• Real-time identification of contamination hotspots.
Why use handheld x-ray fluorescence (HHXRF)?
Copyright © 2017 Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science All Rights Reserved. 8
Why use HHXRF?
Versatile:
• Wide range of elements: K to U (suite depends on
application and model).
• Full portability: take the analyser to the sample, not the
other way around.
• Other applications can be added (contact our
Applications teams for feasibility study).
• Widely recognised technique for field screening (e.g.
US EPA method 6200).
Easy to use:
• Minimum operator training needed.
• Minimum sample preparation.
• No chemicals or reagents needed.
Copyright © 2017 Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science All Rights Reserved. 9
• Limits of detection: not as low as laboratory techniques (e.g. ICP or AA or assay methods).
• Cannot measure Li, B, Na...
• Cannot measure compounds (e.g. Fe2O3): elemental analysis only, with pre-defined post-analytical
calculations (i.e. Fe2O3 content calculated from Fe content).
• Cannot be used for certification (i.e. HHXRF is not a reference method).
Limitations of HHXRF
HHXRF is a great screening tool that enables to reduce
dramatically the number of analyses sent to the lab and
obtain results on-site, faster.

traces (e.g. Cd, As, Pb…) in X-MET8000 Expert Geo.
• 10 mm2 SDD detector for accurate soil screening and grade control in X-
MET8000 Optimum Geo.
• With BoostTM technology inside: up to 10 times the sensitivity of other
HHXRF models for:
• Faster analysis: higher testing throughput.
• Lower limits of detection: measure low levels of critical elements with
confidence.
• Outstanding precision: results you can trust.

Low limits of detection (LODs)
Be confident you can meet environmental regulations with LODs well below the EPA requirements. Limits of
detection of EPA 6200 RCRA elements for X-MET8000 Expert Geo.
Copyright © 2017 Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science All Rights Reserved. 14
Low limits of quantification
Meeting the Chinese GB 15618 requirements:
Note: limits of detection and quantification depend on analysis time. To half the limits, you must measure
4 times longer.
