The high resolution detector yields high performance for super-alloys, high temps and other specialty alloys. The analyzer design optimizes magnesium detection – critical for fast, precise aluminum alloy analysis. For geochemical applications, the X-300 offers low limits of detection and high precision measurements for standard suites of elements for exploration, gold pathfinders, rare-earths, and environmental/remediation. Analyzers may be factory calibrated with fundamental parameters, Compton Normalization (EPA Method 6200), or user defined empirical calibrations.
