DRYWALL SCREENING WITH THE NEW X-MET7000 Series XRF ANALYSER

Fast, accurate on-site screening for harmful elements in drywall and more!

The X-MET handheld XRF analyser is a fast and simple solution to drywall testing. Results are available in only seconds using the handheld ‘point and shoot’ analyser. In one day, home inspectors can now complete more tests
on-site, also inspect presence of lead and other hazardous contaminants in housings and buildings. There is no need to remove chunks of wall samples to send off for laboratory testing, which can be time-consuming and expensive.

Screening and verification of drywall couldn’t be easier:

JUST POINT AND SHOOT AND READ THE RESULT!

Reliable analysis of Strontium and other markers indicate the potential presence of hazardous drywall.

The X-MET is an invaluable tool for the Home Inspector

Drywall testing using an X-MET analyser can be done for a fraction of the previous ‘send out’ costs. The X-MET is an ideal solution for identifying harmful substances within drywall pieces or boards that don’t have labels identifying the country of origin or manufacturer.

Identify individual suspicious boards – to minimize remediation costs by analysing strontium, a key marker in tainted drywall
Identify drywall pieces missing a label with the country of origin
Avoid tedious sample preparation and sending samples to a laboratory
Utilize fast information for reliable Go/No-Go decisions with simplified Pass/Fail warnings to identify tainted walls
Test for lead (Pb) and other hazardous elements in paint

Point and shoot means its quick, clean and easy. The X-MET allows you to screen for tainted drywall even through paint and plaster. Just point the X-MET against the drywall and shoot – after few seconds, the concentration of strontium is shown on the screen and a pass /fail status can be attributed.

Highly accurate strontium (Sr) analysis down to ppm level
Optimised Fundamental Parameters calibration for Sr analysis
Totally non-destructive method, no need to cut pieces from the drywall for analysis
Analysis can be done directly through paint and wallpaper
Cut down the laboratory costs by doing on-site screening and sending fewer samples to the lab.
Get your results instantly saving time and money
No radioactive isotopes to license and replace
Up to 10-12 hour operation on a single battery charge. 2 batteries included.
