Solves 21st Century Applications Problems



With easy to use, powerful XRF approach!

Founded in early 2001, Innov-X Systems has reinvented the portable X-ray Fluorescence industry with a pioneering approach to portable instruments. Now, a single handheld XRF platform delivers a universe of applications. Engineered as an X-ray tube-based unit for real time, elemental analysis, wherever needed, it eliminates the liabilities associated with radioactive isotopes used in other XRF analyzers. As a result, Innov-X delivers the analytical power and flexibility of a laboratory type system, in a rugged, reliable, field worthy analyzer.


Reliability Without Radioactivity



When Innov-X delivered the world’s first X-ray tube-based portable XRF, a new era in portable XRF began. The XRF is engineered around a miniature X-ray tube from the ground up.

In environmental pollution applications, Innov-X analyzers assure positive identification of key pollutants such as Pb, Hg, Cd, As, etc. in soil, surfaces, liquids, filters, and air. In the petrochemical industry, Innov-X analyzers are routinely used on 800°F+ surfaces. Metal recyclers perform thousands of tests per week to sort scrap metal. U.N. inspectors traveled throughout the heat and sandstorms of Iraq using an Innov-X analyzer (featured in USA Today) for WMD inspections.

This analyzer has been featured in Boston Business Journal and Mass High Tech for several Homeland Defense and materials analysis applications. There are over a thousand Innov-X analyzers in the field every day – from the arctic temperatures of Northern Canada, to the heat and humidity of the Gulf Coast, to the demanding, dusty environments and refineries of the Middle East.



Technology to Grow

The Innov-X analyzer takes advantage of rapidly evolving computer technology. The heart of the unit is its software intelligence and the inherent upgrade capability of its removable PDA/Pocket PC. The use of this technology leverages the multi-billion dollar R&D efforts of Intel, HP and Microsoft for portable analytical instrumentation. It delivers easy-to-use, eminently upgradeable technology to every user.


Solutions for Custom Applications

Rapid response to custom application requirements is a core philosophy at Innov-X. Pocket PC technology offers flexible software, exceptional graphical user interface (GUI), and conventional MS Windows architecture for rapid and seamless customization. This portable XRF analyzer can be quickly configured with new elements and/or a multitude of calibrations. Applications range from analyzing works of art, alloys, cadavers, powders, liquids, roofing, soils, and food products, to identifying clandestine drug labs. There are few samples or object types that haven’t been analyzed with an Innov-X portable XRF.


Analyzer Defies Obsolescence

Customers can upgrade their technology, display, and software at any time with locally available, off-the-shelf components. Value-added accessories like wireless e-mail and data transfer, global positioning, binary storage, and multiple language display are readily available. It’s the one portable XRF analyzer that isn’t an antique six months after you buy it!


Flexible, Modular Hardware

Designed as a lightweight, versatile, pistol-shaped handheld analyzer to suit an assortment of configurations, the Innov-X unit docks into a testing stand for operation by a PC or a PDA. It also can be tripod-mounted. Innov-X offers multiple “box shaped” probes for bench top, on-line and at-line measurement applications.
