Advanced Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) Technology

For Exploration & Mining Applications
Innov-Xs new Omega Xpress couples an ultra high resolution SDD detector with a powerful 4W X-ray tube, delivering the fastest, most precise analysis available today in a handheld X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. SDDs provide three major improvements over traditional Si PiN Diode X-ray detectors: 1) The ability to detect and process 10x more X-rays in a given amount of time, 2) better energy resolution, and 3) improved peak-to-background ratio. The result is far better precision and lower limits of detection for exploration and mining applications.

A Commitment to Lifetime Upgradeability Zero Obsolescence, Zero Risk

We believe in providing a clear path to our next technology at any time, customers may upgrade any existing Omega to an Omega Xpress or Xpress Vac with high resolution SDD.

Fast, Reliable In-situ Sample Analysis

The Omega Xpress opens new opportunities for use of Handheld XRF for exploration and mining applications. Limits of detection (LODs) now much lower for all elements measured (Mg to U)
