Enhance XRF Slurry Analysis with the Thermo Scientific™ MEP-300 Multi-Element Probe – No Liquid Nitrogen Required
Streamline elemental analysis of slurries with the Thermo Scientific™ MEP-300 Multi-Element Probe, designed to eliminate the need for liquid nitrogen while improving performance and reliability. Developed as a direct replacement for earlier MEP and MEP-200 immersion probes used in AnStat and MSA X-ray analyzer systems, the MEP-300 leverages advanced Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) technology for superior results in demanding industrial environments.
Why Choose the MEP-300 Probe?
Advanced SDD Technology
- Operates without cryogenic cooling
- Delivers lower detection limits and improved analytical accuracy
- Achieves higher count rates, reduced background, and wider field of view
- Demonstrated stability under shock and vibration, ideal for on-line industrial use
- No special storage or handling required
Occupational Health & Safety
- No liquid nitrogen, eliminating associated hazards
- Enhanced radiation safety with:
- Automatic source retraction on window rupture or probe lift
- Fail-safe, spring-loaded design to withdraw the source on power loss
- High-visibility beacon for status and alarm indication
Optimized Maintenance & Operations
- Zero ongoing cost for liquid nitrogen
- Lower cost of spare parts
- Field-repairable detector — no need to return to the factory
- Easy-to-replace modules and cable assemblies
