Cianflone Scientific Instruments Corporation

CIANFLONE SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS CORPORATION since 1984, is the world Headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA for the manufacture of laboratory/portable x-ray spectrographic instrumentation for on-site chemical analysis and coating thickness measurements, and related laboratory sample preparation equipment.

Sold worldwide, under the trade name PORTASPEC®, the Model 2501X Series X-Ray Spectrograph is a conventional (WDXRF) wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence analyzer which utilizes an x-ray tube as the x-ray source. Designed to fill a need for an instrumental technique that could rapidly and non-destructively analyze qualitatively and quantitatively materials in the field without the necessity of sending samples to a central laboratory. The Portaspec can be applied directly to odd shapes such as castings, tubing, bars, and sheet material that normally cannot fit into sample compartments of conventional laboratory instruments. The Portaspec can also analyze powders and liquids with the appropriate optional holder. In addition to elemental chemical analysis, the Portaspec can also be used to measure the thickness coating weights of many thin coatings such as chromate and titanium on steel or aluminum sheets, and, tin and zinc on sheet steel.
