Welcome to the official Elvatech YouTube channel, your trusted source for professional insights into XRF spectrometry, elemental analysis, and radiation safety. In this episode, we focus on one of the most important aspects of using handheld X-ray fluorescence analyzers—safety.
Our product, the ProSpector 3 handheld XRF analyzer, is not only one of the most advanced and accurate tools for non-destructive material analysis, but it is also designed with operator protection in mind. Radiation safety has always been a top concern when it comes to XRF instruments, and Elvatech ensures that all of our analyzers comply with the strictest international radiation safety standards.
🔒 Radiation Safety Demonstration
In this video, we demonstrate the real-life radiation safety compliance of the ProSpector 3. Using a live dosimeter reading, we compare the emissions of the analyzer to natural background radiation and international regulatory limits.
To put things into perspective:
‼️ 100–200 nSv/h: normal everyday background exposure
‼️ Up to 300 nSv/h: considered safe and acceptable levels
‼️ 300–1 200 nSv/h: elevated radiation levels where extra caution is advised
‼️ 1 μSv/h (1,000 nSv/h): maximum allowable emission for X-ray devices, according to international guidelines
The ProSpector 3 handheld XRF analyzer consistently remains well below this 1 μSv/h safety threshold. In fact, when mounted in its dedicated laboratory stand, the combination of lead shielding and stainless-steel lining ensures that any scattered X-rays are blocked effectively. This design guarantees that external emissions stay within the natural background radiation range.
⚙️ Built-in Safety Features
The ProSpector 3 employs multiple layers of safety interlocks to protect the user:
The X-ray tube will not fire unless the sample chamber is securely closed.
The measurement window must be completely covered by the sample before the analyzer becomes operational.
When used in its lab stand, the system provides an additional barrier that prevents any potential leakage.
Thanks to these engineered controls, operators can be confident that the ProSpector 3 handheld XRF analyzer is not only powerful in analysis but also safe in everyday use.
🌍 Why Radiation Safety Matters
Many people still have misconceptions about the safety of handheld XRF analyzers. Some fear that frequent use may expose them to harmful levels of X-ray radiation. With this video, we want to dispel these myths by showing real measurements.
The results confirm that the ProSpector 3 operates at radiation levels comparable to normal environmental exposure—meaning you are no more exposed than you would be walking outdoors under the sun. This ensures full compliance with global safety regulations and provides users with peace of mind.
