The Thermo Scientific™ MEP-400 Multi-Element Probe improves XRF elemental slurry analysis while removing the need for radioisotopes. Designed as an upgrade for Online Slurry Elemental XRF Analyzers, it works seamlessly with systems such as AnStat Sampling and Analysis Stations and the MSA Multi-Stream Analyzer.
Product Overview
Occupational Health and Safety
- Improved radiation safety – Radioisotopes are eliminated. The integrated X-ray tube allows radiation to be turned off and locked out. The system includes a fail-safe design and a high-visibility beacon to indicate status and alarm conditions.
If you are upgrading from the MEP-200, the MEP-400 eliminates the Occupational Health & Safety risks that were previously associated with liquid nitrogen.
Silicon Drift Detector (SDD)
- Improved analytical results and lower detection limits thanks to higher count rates, a high-speed digital signal processor, and better resolution
- Higher availability
- Field repairable, eliminating the need to return the probe to the factory
Maintenance and Operations
- A quick change window
- No need for external standardization, reducing maintenance time and improving availability
- No financial cost or handling requirements for liquid nitrogen
- Lower cost of critical spares
- Field replaceable modules, cable assemblies, and X-ray tube
