Pittcon Expo: most popular instrument?

While exhibiting at the recent Pittcon Conference and Exposition, one instrument stood out as the most popular...the Skyray XRF Pocket-II. The Pocket-II received the interest because it is a portable (or hand held) XRF that tests for hazardous substances.

Portable XRF technology has been a very popular method in screening both large and small items for hazardous substances. They are well received because of the low costs and, of course, the portability. The Skyray XRF unit stands out because it is one of the lightest hand held units available and was designed so that it is comfortable to hold and use (several Pittcon attendees noted that). It also happens to be one of the lowest priced units available.

Both portable and bench-top models of XRF have benefits over each other, but when results are compared against they are both effective for hazardous substance screening. Whether you choose a bench-top or portable depends on the variables.

Regardless of which you prefer or need, Skyray XRF has them available.
