The Hitachi High-Tech LAB-X5000 is a compact and versatile energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analyzer designed for fast and easy elemental analysis in laboratories, production environments, and mobile operations. It is built for quality assurance and process control, providing reliable results with minimal sample preparation and straightforward operation.

The LAB-X5000 combines a streamlined touchscreen interface with high-resolution detector technology, one-touch measurement, and flexible software for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Its robust design and automated features allow operators to obtain consistent results quickly, making it suitable for routine testing and demanding industrial applications.

The analyzer can be configured for a wide range of applications, including petroleum and lubricants, minerals and cement, chemicals, polymers, paper and films, wood treatment, and food products. Depending on the application, it can analyze elements from Na to U.

The LAB-X5000 is engineered to detect a wide range of elements and includes a high-performance silicon drift detector for superior compositional analysis and low detection limits. An integrated sample spinner rotates the sample during the measurement, ensuring results are repeatable, even for inhomogeneous samples such as powders.

User error is minimized: the analyzer is easy to use with a simple one-button start, intuitive user interface and a large, easy to read display. The LAB-X5000 comes with several options for data management, including automatic export to the ExTOPE Connect cloud, export via USB, a built-in printer and stores up to 100,000 results.

Minimal sample preparation is required: simply grind the material into powder and measure in a sample cup. For best accuracy, powders are pressed into a pellet and then placed in the analyzer. The analyzer can be setup to check the key elements you need to verify for your process, as well as post-analytical calculations such as Lime Saturation Factor (LSF).

Ruggedness built in

Minerals processing and cement production are never clean environments. This is why the LAB-X5000 is designed to work perfectly in dusty locations. For example, an automated turntable moves the sample away from key analyzer components as soon as the measurement is complete to minimize damage and contamination to the analyzer’s critical component.

The design includes robust, field-proven components and an industrial grade PC. The analyzer has been subjected to a series of rigorous tests to ensure it won’t let you down. These features, and the easy to clean exterior, help to ensure the LAB-X5000 is tough enough for use in the harshest of production facilities.

ASTM C114 compliant: Meets the precision requirements of this international standard test method for the chemical analysis of hydraulic cement.

Element range: Na to U (elements suite depends on applications.)

One-touch measurement: Simple routine operation: load the sample, press start and the analysis begins.

Intuitive software: Clear, intuitive interface reduces operator error and increases sample testing throughput.

Large touch screen: The 7-inch industrial-grade screen is durable and clearly displays results and menus for
complete ease of use.

SmartCheck software: Define upper and lower acceptance limits for key elements and calculations for rapid
decision making.

Rugged: Engineered to work in harsh environments to minimize analyzer downtime and
maintenance costs.

Automated turntable: Minimizes the risk of damage and contamination to the analyzer’s critical components by
rotating the sample away from them when the analysis is complete.

Sample spinner: Rotates the sample during the analysis to ensure best repeatability, even for
inhomogeneous samples.

Post-analytical calculations: Fast and simple monitoring of process parameters: use the pre-loaded calibration settings with calculations such as Lime Saturation Factor (LSF), Alumina Ratio (AR) and Silica Ratio (SR), or
create your own.

Fast analysis: Initial results in seconds; complete comprehensive analysis in typically less than five minutes.

No or minimum helium consumption: Calibration parameters are optimized to use helium only when strictly needed (e.g. for Na and Mg). With its automatic atmospheric variation compensation, the LAB-X can measure a wide range of elements in air, reducing running costs.
