Portable STEM Learning

Portable analyzers engage students with science while developing knowledge,
methods and skills. They allow teachers to connect students with the relevance of
science, technology, engineering and math in the world around them.

 Teach science across disciplines
Periodic Table of Elements for including food and agriculture,
EDXRF Spectroscopy biology and chemistry,
environmental and geoscience,
metallurgy and physics, social
responsibility and forensics or art
and archaeology.
 Enlighten students in the
classroom, on field trips and in the
lab with engaging, experiential and
value driven science.
 Watch the periodic table come to
life as students analyze easily
accessible objects such as jewelry,
coins, pens, sunglasses, trinkets,
toys, backpacks and more.

pXRF Technology

Students don’t have to prepare and place samples into a chamber, close the door and
wait for answers. They can interact in real-time with the sample, its environment, the
analyzer, the results and each other as they acquire and discuss their findings.

 Detection of fluorine (#9) to uranium (#92)
 Automated or manual filters for optimization
 Air, helium or vacuum path for varied detection limits

 Selectable collimation for different sample spot sizes

 Internal camera with adjustable LED for recording
 Reticle positioning for accuracy of testing
 On-board or PC control of excitation

 Wireless communication
 Point-and-shoot testing for Composition; ID; Y/N; P/F

 Advanced QUAL and QUANT data analysis software
 Open-source file for other data analysis programs

 Global network of pXRF Subject Matter Experts
