The HITACHI Oxford X-MET8000 Optimum XRF Analyzer delivers the performance needed for rapid alloy grade identification and accurate chemistry of a wide variety of materials (solid and powder metals, polymers, wood, solutions, soil, ores, minerals etc). The X-MET is practical, rugged and easy to use to deliver results you can trust.
The HITACHI Oxford X-MET8000 is a portable XRF device from Hitachi, which specializes in XRF analyzers, providing chemical analysis in the field. This model with SDD detector can perform chemical analysis of Mg (12) – U (92) elements in the periodic table in less than 5 seconds.
The X-ray fluorescence spectrometer can be used in field conditions without requiring any sample preparation process thanks to its IP 54 standard and battery usage. The protection shield in front of the device and specially developed by Hitachi allows you to take measurements easily even from your scrap shavings without damaging the device. The device is unique with its library of 1600 alloy standards and small compact design. It has the ability to report in Excel or custom PDF format. The device has the ability to store over 100,000 analyzes in memory.

Superior performance
The X-MET XRF analyzer provides great light elements (Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl) analysis, low limits of detection, and outstanding precision for results you can trust, day after day.
Test a wide range of materials with its versatile standardless fundamental parameters (FP) methods, or use its empirical calibrations when results traceability and superior accuracy are needed.
Easy to use
With its large touchscreen and icon-driven user interface, the user training required to operate the X-ray spectrometer analyzer is minimal.
Superb ergonomics
Light (it’s only 1.5kg), compact, and balanced, you can use the X-MET for long periods of time with minimum fatigue.
Robust for low cost of ownership
IP54 compliant (equivalent to NEMA 3), splash water and dust proof, you can use the X-MET confidently indoors or outdoors.
Tested to the MIL-STD-810G military grade standard for robustness. It also comes with a 3-year warranty.
Its optional shield prevents costly detector repairs when measuring rough surfaces.
Advanced data management
Total flexibility: Store up to 100,000 results on-board the X-MET, export reports on a USB flash drive or a PC, or automatically store the X-MET data securely in the LiveData cloud.
