Why choose an X-MET analyzer?
Superior performance
The X-MET 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.
Easy to use
With its large touchscreen and icon-driven user interface, the user training required to operate it is minimal.
Superb ergonomics
Light (it weight is only 1.5kg), compact, and balanced, you can use the X-MET for long periods of time with minimum fatigue.
Robust for low cost of ownership
IP54 compliant (equivalent to NEMA 3), splash water and dustproof, 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.
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 LiveData cloud.
