No radioactive sources, no isotope replacement! The SciAps X-550 Pb sets a new performance standard for lead paint analyzers. It features the latest X-ray tube and detector technology to deliver the fastest and most accurate lead paint results. It also eliminates the radioactive isotopes. That means no isotope replacement costs, isotope disposal costs, or regulatory and financial burden for owning and tracking radioactive materials. The X-550 Pb is available with either a rhodium X-ray tube anode or gold X-ray tube anode, depending on whether operators also want to perform environmental testing for EPA Priority Pollutant and RCRA metals, or alloy or mining materials analysis. Fast, precise tests with SciAps X-550 Pb SciAps X-550 Pb starts fast and stays fast for the life of the analyzer. Based on HUD PCS testing at action levels of 0.5, 0.7 and 1.0mg/cm_,most tests end in two seconds, and the longest test is six seconds. The test times will be the same in five years as the day of purchase Ñone of the many advantages of X-ray tube technology. Unlike radioactive source units, the X-550 Pb employs an X-ray tube that uses an electric current under high voltage to produce X-rays; the device cannot make X-rays in between tests, without a battery, or if it is powered off. In the Quick Mode of operation the PCS testing method is fully automated. As soon as the X-550 Pb determines the lead paint level is above or below the action level at 2-standard deviation (95%) confidence, the test is automatically terminated. The Cloud, Connectivity and Android The X Series is built on GoogleÕs Android platform for real-time data exporting. The user interface has the feel of a smart phone with results easily viewed on a vibrant display and reversible light/dark for all lighting conditions. Built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and USB mean that users can print and email from the X-550 Pb and connect to virtually any information management system for efficient test data and report. Multi-system users? A cloud-based data and fleet management system is also available. Collect and monitor lead paint measurements in real time, from anywhere in the world. Eliminate the burden of exporting, cutting and pasting test data in spreadsheets and reports. ¥ Fastest tests: Test in 2-6 seconds, and never lose speed over time. ¥ Highest levels of accuracy: No substrate corrections, no inconclusive ranges or tests, even for HUD PCS action n levels as low as 0.5 mg/cm_ ¥ Two modes of operation: Quick Mode preferred for PCS types of testing, and Timed Mode for industrial lead paint testing.
