ITRAX product overview

Game changing innovations first introduced
on the XRF scanner market with Itrax scanners

XRF scanning close to the sample surface, but without sample contact for improved scanning speed and analytical quality.
Contact free measurement of sample topography by laser, for fast and detailed sample height profile.
Capacity to determine all chemical elements Na-U in one fast analysis and at one voltage with best sensitivity, and to quantify all these elements, even for difficult elements like the REE metals.
PolyflatTM X-ray beam guide technology, for higher speed of analysis, especially at small step sizes.
Dual x-ray energy excitation, for accurate analysis of light as well as heavy elements simultaneously.
XRF scanning at different lateral step sizes with the same beam size, thereby achieving a slit free, high speed scanning solution for small increments.
Millimeter and sub-millimeter level increment XRF scanning down to 0.1 millimeter, for fine sample details.
XRF software for one-click quantification of element concentrations based on fully featured Fundamental Parameter technique. This markedly improves quantitative measurements on cores, and also much extends the range of sample matrix compositions that one calibration standard covers. The result is that one calibration standard covers the calibration requirements for most mineral cores, regardless of matrix composition.
Borehole Viewer advanced data processing tool for display, evaluation and logging support of boreholes.

When you compare XRF scanners of different makes and models, you will find that they perform differently in terms of e.g. sample throughput, as well as quality of, and technique for, quantitative analyses. The introduction of this list of performance improving, innovative Itrax features started in 2003.

MaXRay high volume Drillcore Scanner

The Itrax XRF Scanner MaXRay is our XRF scanner for high volume routine scanning of elements in drill cores. A useful feature for volume XRF scanning is that it can be loaded with cores in a core box, and also with up to six cores placed in a special holder. At a speed of up to 120 meters per 8 hour shift, all elements from Sodium to Uranium can be determined.

Repeatability is a crucial XRF scanner test. This example from Itrax Core Scanner shows two element profiles, one red and one black, each displaying the same Manganese profile as recorded in two consecutive, continuous scans of the same core. Each profile contains 3,000 measurements with a spot size and step of 0.2 millimeter. Each spot was measured during one second. The average Manganese concentration range is ~0.02 - 0.2%, and the similarity of the two scans is clear. With Itrax, you can have a combination of high scan speed and reliable results.

FleXRay Multi Sensor XRF Scanner

The Itrax FleXRay is a high performance XRF scanner which can be equipped with more sensors, including e.g. Magnetic susceptibility and UV fluorescence. It can be delivered either for drill cores only or for wet cores as dry drill cores. The dry core version can determine all elements Na-U, while the wet version can determine Mg-U.

Itrax XRF Core Scanner

The Itrax Corescanner is a versatile research tool for analysis of elements from Magnesium to Uranium in drill cores and wet, split sediment cores. It combines cutting edge XRF multi element analysis with x-ray radiography, and an advanced camera system with crossed polarizing filters. This instrument excels when it comes to high resolution scanning.

Itrax FiXRay XRF scanner

Itrax FiXRay is our entry level XRF scanner for accurate routine scanning of elements in drill cores, as well as wet sediment material in liners. This scanner can quantify the amount of all elements from Magnesium to Uranium, in concentrations from bulk to trace level, one core at the time.

Itrax Multiscanner for wood

The Itrax Multiscanner is dedicated to analysis of density and elemental content of wood and other thin samples, applying in situ x-ray radiography and XRF. It offers batch scans of wood laths, with high detail and precision.
