Thermo Scientific MEP-300 Upgrade Package for MSA and AnStat

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
