Specifications
The Skyray EXPLORER 9000 is a portable handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer designed for on-site screening and analysis of heavy metals in soil. It combines XRF technology, digital signal processing, and intelligent analytical software to support rapid environmental surveys and soil contamination assessment.
Its compact design allows measurements directly in the field, helping environmental professionals identify potentially contaminated areas, survey large sites, and monitor soil remediation without transporting every sample to a laboratory.
Key Features
- On-Site Soil Analysis: Designed for in-situ testing of potentially contaminated soil.
- Heavy Metal Detection: Supports analysis of mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), and manganese (Mn).
- Rapid Results: The brochure describes results within approximately one second under suitable testing conditions.
- Broad Elemental Range: Measures elements from magnesium (Mg) to uranium (U), with additional elements configurable according to customer requirements.
- High-Performance Detector: Uses an SDD detector, with an optional Fast-SDD detector.
- GPS Positioning: Built-in GPS supports recording sampling locations and preparing soil pollution maps.
- Rotating Touchscreen: A 5-inch high-definition touchscreen with 360-degree rotation supports field operation.
- Built-In Camera: A camera helps users observe and position the sample during measurement.
- Intelligent Software: One-key testing and automatic analytical-curve matching simplify routine operation.
- Portable Design: Lightweight, ergonomic construction with a protective carrying case.
- Rechargeable Battery: Standard 9000 mAh battery provides up to 12 hours of operation; an optional 27000 mAh battery is specified for extended use.
- Field-Ready Construction: Waterproof and dustproof design for demanding field environments, as described in the brochure.
- Safety Protection: Includes a safety interlock, protective shielding, and automatic X-ray tube shutdown features.
