SciAps X-5 XRF: Advanced Handheld Analyzer for Gold & Metals
The SciAps X-5 XRF is the industry’s most advanced handheld platform reimagined for professionals who prioritize speed and cost-effectiveness. Equipped with a high-performance Silicon Drift Detector (SDD), this unit provides lightning-fast analysis of transition and heavy metals, making it the premier choice for gold checking, scrap recycling, and NDT applications.
High-Performance Analysis with the SciAps X-5 XRF
While many analyzers struggle with drift and thermal shutdown, the SciAps X-5 XRF features a completely redesigned internal architecture. The upgraded heat sinking allows for continuous operation in ambient temperatures up to 43°C (110°F), ensuring your workflow in the showroom or the field never stops.
By focusing on heavy metal detection, this device offers a streamlined, high-value solution for users who do not require light element testing (such as Mg, Al, or Si), providing lab-quality precision without the unnecessary complexity.

Professional Gold Checking and Precious Metal Verification
In the competitive gold market, accuracy is everything. This analyzer provides non-destructive, instant chemistry for:
-
Precise Gold Karat Identification: Instantly distinguish between 18k, 22k, and 24k gold.
-
Precious Metal Screening: Rapidly detect Silver, Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium.
-
Advanced Impurity Detection: Identify copper, zinc, or nickel alloys within seconds to ensure the highest purity standards.
Why the SciAps X-5 XRF is the Best Value for NDT and Scrap
The SciAps X-5 XRF is built on a modern Android-based platform, offering a user interface as intuitive as a smartphone. With integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, sharing reports and data with your team is seamless. Whether you are sorting stainless steel, high-temp alloys, or red metals, the X-5 delivers consistent, repeatable results that traditional legacy units simply cannot match.
