Need fast, non-destructive screening for RoHS compliance, halogen-free requirements, or electronics testing? The SciAps X-550 handheld XRF analyzer delivers rapid elemental analysis for regulated substances including lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), bromine (Br), chromium (Cr), and chlorine (Cl).

The SciAps X-550 automatically detects whether the sample is metallic alloy or polymer-based material and selects the appropriate matrix calibration automatically. This makes it ideal for mixed-material testing environments commonly found in electronics manufacturing, incoming inspection, recycling, QA/QC, and compliance screening applications.

Compared to lower-powered handheld XRF analyzers, the X-550 features a high-powered X-ray tube that improves chlorine (Cl) sensitivity and delivers faster halogen-free screening performance.

Why Rent a SciAps X-550 for RoHS Testing?

The SciAps X-550 is designed for high-performance elemental analysis in demanding compliance environments. The analyzer is commonly used for:

• RoHS screening
• Halogen-free verification
• Incoming inspection
• Electronics recycling
• PCB and component testing
• Consumer goods compliance
• Cable and wire screening
• Plastic and polymer testing
• Supplier verification programs
• Manufacturing QA/QC

The X-550 can analyze both metallic and polymer matrices using automatic matrix recognition. Operators can quickly transition between electronics components, solder joints, plated parts, connectors, wires, plastics, and metal assemblies without manually changing calibrations.

RoHS Elements Detected

The SciAps X-550 RoHS application supports screening for:

The X-550’s higher-powered tube configuration provides improved chlorine sensitivity compared to lower-powered systems, making it especially effective for halogen-free screening applications.

Ideal Industries & Applications

Electronics Manufacturing

Screen incoming components, solder materials, connectors, housings, and PCB assemblies for RoHS compliance before production.

Electronics Recycling

Rapidly identify regulated materials during e-waste processing and material segregation operations.

Quality Assurance & Compliance

Verify supplier compliance and maintain internal QA documentation for consumer electronics and industrial products.

Plastics & Polymer Testing

Analyze plastic housings, insulation materials, cables, wire coatings, and molded components for restricted substances and halogen-free requirements.

Contract Manufacturing

Quickly validate parts from multiple suppliers without sending samples to an outside laboratory.

Optional Test Stand Upgrade

The optional test stand transforms the handheld XRF into a more stable bench-top testing solution. This upgrade is especially useful for:

• Small electronic components
• PCB testing
• Wire and cable samples
• Plastic pellets or granules
• Repeatability-sensitive testing
• High-volume screening environments

The stand also improves operator comfort during long testing sessions and helps maintain consistent geometry for improved repeatability.

Fast Setup & Remote Training

All rentals include virtual onboarding and setup assistance from Alloy Geek. Most customers are operational shortly after delivery.

We can assist with:

• RoHS application setup
• Compliance screening workflows
• Proper sample positioning
• Pass/fail threshold interpretation
• Reporting guidance
• Best practices for electronics and polymer testing

Why Rent Instead of Buy?

Renting a SciAps X-550 is ideal for:

• Temporary compliance projects
• Incoming inspection surges
• Customer audits
• Production overflow
• Evaluating XRF before purchase
• Short-term QA/QC needs
• Trade shows or field deployments

Rental customers may also apply rental credit toward a future analyzer purchase depending on timing and equipment availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the SciAps X-550 test both metals and plastics?

Yes. The X-550 automatically recognizes alloy and polymer matrices and switches to the appropriate calibration automatically.

What RoHS elements can the X-550 detect?

The analyzer supports Pb, Cd, Hg, Br, total Cr, and Cl analysis for RoHS and halogen-free screening.

Why choose the X-550 over lower-powered XRF analyzers?

The higher-powered X-ray tube improves speed and sensitivity, particularly for chlorine (Cl) analysis used in halogen-free testing.

Is the test stand worth adding?

For small parts, electronics, PCB work, or repetitive testing, the test stand significantly improves ease of use and repeatability.

Is training included with the rental?

Yes. Alloy Geek includes virtual setup assistance and operational training with every rental.
