HANDHELD XRF
A rock-
solid
tool
With reliability, precision
and an ergonomic design to
maximize your productivity.
We’re trusted by thousands of businesses
worldwide who use the X-MET8000 across a
wide range of applications including precious
metals, car catalysts, insulation materials and
wood preservatives among our more popular
applications related to metals and alloys.
Providing you with laboratory quality results in
the field, the versatile, fully flexible X-MET8000
range of handheld X-ray fluoresce (XRF)
analyzers deliver fast, accurate and non-
destructive results from Mg (12) to U (92). Our
smart instruments are built with connectivity in
mind; our data management solution, ExTOPE
Connect, enables you to manage your fleet
of Hitachi analyzers from anywhere and share
results instantly.
Our handheld XRF analyzers weigh just
1.5kg/3.3 lbs, are designed to be ergonomic
and come with a battery life that lasts up to
12 hours, so they can easily be used for a full
working-day.

Immediate productivity
From box to result in 15 seconds. Power through your day and get data to
where it’s needed from, wherever you’re working.
Water and dust resistant
The shield window protects the whole instrument, including both the X-ray tube
and detector. IP54 and MIL-STD-810G compliant, with less chance of costly
repair bills and peace of mind that our instruments are built to last.
Totally connected
Transfer data in real time and manage multiple X-MET8000’s with wireless
connection over WiFi over different sites without leaving your desk. Results
can go straight to mobile phone, our cloud-based data management solution
ExTOPE Connect or simply send them straight to your printer.
One charge for a full working day
With a battery life of up to 12 hours, low power consumption saves you time
and eliminates the need to carry an additional battery.
Big touchscreen display to see and use
The large 4.3” touch screen offers the clearest possible view with large font size.
Customizable calibrations
Factory calibrations can be fine-tuned to optimize the performance specific
applications. With our calibration software you can also create your own
empirical calibrations for custom applications.
Results your way and in your format
Advanced reporting software to create customizable report templates so you
have robust audit trails and peace of mind.
Simple, effective routine maintenance
Tool free window replacement with little chance to cause damage to the analyzer
including no screws to lose inside the unit.

7. X-MET POLE:
For hard to reach analysis places, the X-MET pole offers a simple solution
with improved measurement ergonomics. It’s particularly useful when
measurements are needed over a large area.
8. BIPOD:
When longer analysis times are needed, i.e. greater than 30 seconds, the
bipod avoids the need to hold the analyzer in your hand.
9. SMALL-SPOT COLLIMATOR:
