XRF results are influenced by calibration, sample geometry, surface condition, coating, homogeneity and measurement time. For regulatory or settlement decisions, establish an appropriate sampling and verification procedure.

Core Hardware and Data Functions

  • Adjustable X-ray tube up to 50 kV / 200 μA, depending on configuration.
  • 4.3-inch industrial touch display with multilingual operation.
  • USB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth data transfer.
  • Excel and PDF report export with customizable report fields.
  • Automatic calibration, system diagnosis and parameter compensation functions.
  • Replaceable battery for portable field operation.

How to Improve Testing Reliability

  • Select the correct application calibration for the material matrix.
  • Clean oxidation, dirt and loose coatings from the measurement area.
  • Keep the analyzer window flat and stable against the sample.
  • Use suitable measurement time for low-concentration elements.
  • Test several positions when the sample may be non-homogeneous.
  • Use certified reference materials for routine verification.

Handheld XRF or Benchtop XRF Gold Analyzer?

The two formats serve different working conditions and should target different search intent.

Choose a Handheld XRF Analyzer When

You need portability, field screening, alloy sorting, mine-site analysis, soil testing or preliminary precious metal checks on large or immovable objects.

Choose a Benchtop XRF Gold Analyzer When

You mainly test jewelry, gold, silver and platinum-group metals at a fixed counter and need a shielded sample chamber, camera positioning and repeatable daily operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can a handheld XRF analyzer test?
Depending on detector and calibration, a handheld XRF analyzer can screen alloys, ores, minerals, precious metals and soil. The measurable elements and detection limits vary by configuration and sample matrix.
Can a handheld XRF analyzer test gold purity?
The EXPLORER 8000 can screen gold, silver, platinum, palladium and common jewelry alloy elements. For routine counter testing of small jewelry pieces, a shielded benchtop XRF gold analyzer may provide a more convenient and repeatable workflow.
Can handheld XRF detect gold plating?
XRF is primarily a surface-sensitive technique. It may indicate plating or inconsistent composition when testing multiple locations, but results depend on coating thickness, substrate and calibration. Confirm suspicious samples with an appropriate secondary method.
Does portable XRF require sample preparation?
Many solid samples can be screened directly. Cleaning the measurement surface and ensuring stable contact normally improves repeatability. Soil, powder and heterogeneous samples may require drying, grinding, sieving or sample cups for better comparability.
How do I select the correct EXPLORER model?
Provide the sample material, target elements, approximate concentration range, required detection limit and working environment. CDOCAST can then recommend the model, detector and calibration package.
Is handheld XRF testing non-destructive?
XRF measurement generally does not cut, melt or chemically dissolve the sample. Operators must still follow the supplied radiation-safety procedures and local regulations.
