Use Cases That Drive ROI

• Validate fit before committing: Test how a handheld XRF integrates into your workflow, applications, and throughput before purchasing.
• Try before you buy: Apply up to one month of rental fees toward the purchase of a new XRF analyzer.
• Avoid capital expense: Maintain analytical capability without upfront equipment investment.
• Build customer trust: Provide verified material identification to support certifications, audits, and quality assurance.
• Verify incoming raw materials: Confirm alloy composition before machining, fabrication, or processing.
• Inspect inbound and outbound scrap loads: Prevent mix-ups, reduce contamination, and maximize material value.
• Improve melt chemistry: Check material composition before it enters the furnace to reduce rework, scrap, and off-spec production.
