X-MET5100 hand-held XRF analyser assures rapid, on-site laboratory quality chemical analysis of Aluminium and Titanium alloys, as well as Copper, Nickel and Ferrous alloys and can reliably analyse Light Elements such as Al, Si and Mg without the need for helium tanks or vacuum pump attachments.   Powerful Light Element capability combined with high performance components provide best-in-class detection limits for heavy elements in all types of environmental and mining applications.

A robust, rapid and sensitive hand-held XRF testing tool, with intrinsic light element capability, the X-MET5100 is specifically designed to deliver optimum performance for:

  • PMI inspectors
  • scrap sorters
  • environmental heavy metal testing (soils & RoHS)
  • aerospace & automotive industries
  • mine and mineral deposit mapping


The addition of X-MET5100 to our highly successful X-MET5000 range, brings with it Oxford Instruments'  proprietary
X-ray tube detector technology for unparalleled speed, high accuracy and low detection limits. This groundbreaking testing tool builds on the strengths of the already field-proven X-MET5000, such as IP54 certification for dust and water splash protection for robust operation anywhere.

XMET5100

Top of the range X-MET5100 combines Oxford Instruments’ groundbreaking Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) with a powerful 45kV X-ray tube. This cutting edge technology delivers a five times faster measurement speed, much better detection limits and a significant accuracy improvement over conventional systems.

X-MET5100's new technology combined with traceable Empirical Calibration enables accurate analysis:

  • metal testing in seconds and light elements such as Mg, Al and Si without the need for inconvenient vacuum or helium attachments
  • restricted elements for compliance screening
  • lead, cadmium and other heavy metals in toys and consumer products
  • soil contaminants at low ppm levels
  • key elements in mineral & ores at speeds previously not possible
