Innov-X Systems AIC 35th Annual Meeting Exhibit to Demonstrate Handheld XRF in Art and Heritage Conservation

Woburn, MA--- Innov-X introduces four new products at AIC this year, guaranteed to make a visit to Booth 104 worthwhile:

• New Ultra-rugged handheld alloy analyzer – a totally sealed, weatherproof unit without a PDA.
• Addition of Al, Si and Mg analysis with a patent-pending internal vacuum – still the most portable XRF in the world – available in the classic PDA or the sealed Ultra Rugged.
• Handheld Laser Camera System - small-spot analysis featuring snapshot images – all in the world’s most portable handheld XRF Analyzer
• X-50 high-powered, mobile XRF: the ultimate benchtop XRF featuring 10X or more the power of handhelds now in a mobile package.

Learn how Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) in historic and artistic applications can perform rapid elemental analysis and gain valuable information right on the scene. In just seconds, materials can be identified and quantified. Conservators/investigators can now analyze artwork without altering, damaging, or transporting works to a remote laboratory. You can even take a picture of a small analysis area for additional documentation. Stop by Booth 104 and find out why your next Portable XRF needs to be from Innov-X.

Use Innov-X Handheld XRF analyzers to authenticate art work; trace provenance; confirm restoration materials; analyze a variety of objects in-situ and non-destructively to retain value.
• Classic Removable PDA based model, Totally Sealed Internal Electronics model, Standard, Low-Z Vacuum or Laser Camera models
• Innov-X offers excellent sensitivity to low concentrations of Cr, Ni, Mo, V
• Study, restore and preserve museum objects and historical monuments by alloy analysis
• Differentiate pigments for authenticity
• Identify base materials of ceramics and statues
• Sort metallic materials by identifying trace impurities
• Use for non-metals as well: precious metals testing

Innov-X Systems is a vital new force in the x-ray fluorescence (XRF) industry. Their systems perform fast, accurate chemical analysis in seconds to identify, differentiate and quantify most materials by elemental composition. Founded in 2001, they pioneered handheld XRF instrumentation using a miniature x-ray tube rather than radioactive isotopes. Innov-X has rapidly expanded into many other XRF areas. These include the new SEA-Mate™ System for marine on-board fluids analysis; MobiLab X50, a portable XRF that in comparison to handheld units, delivers higher power and superior performance throughout the periodic table. Innov-X has also taken a leading position in custom XRF and online/automated XRF instrumentation.

With R&D and manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Innov-X has offices in Europe (the Netherlands), and Asia (Hong Kong). They maintain sales and service alliances in Canada, the Middle East, Latin America and worldwide. Service, installation and training is available in over 100 countries.
