For the detection of toxic elements in children’s products

Complies with ASTM F2853 and F2617

Accurate. Easy to use. Non-destructive.

The new HD Prime Analyzer is a cost-effective solution to accurately screen and quantify LEAD at levels well below CPSIA mandates (90 ppm in painted surfaces) as well as other toxic elements, ensuring your products meet new global regulations.

The HD Prime features the ability to distinguish paint layers from base material, small spot capabilities, low limits of detection for 10 toxic metals, and non-destructive measurements. All our analyzers are very easy to operate and are designed for use in factories, independent test labs, retail outlets, and inventory warehouses.

Features and Benefits:

Coating composition through use of breakthrough x-ray optices technology
Low levels of detection for lead-1 ppm for homogeneous substrates-8 ppm for paint layers
Measure very small features with spot size of 1.0 mm in diameter
Multi-element capacity with emphasis on the 10 toxins of greatest interest to toy manufacturers including Cr, As, Br, Cd, Sb, Ba, Se, Hg, Cl, & Pb
Immediate results streamline production and shipping decisions
Secure data including clear time-stamped photo of toy and feature being measured
Ease of Use- designed for use by factory operators
Large sample chamber easily accepts large and irregular shaped toys
No sample preparation – Avoiding paint removal or digestion steps that take valuable time and destroy products being tested

User Interface and Data Management

Color coated indicators present results as Pass or Fail – separately for the products substrate and coating.
Elemental concentrations are indicated in ppm and in µg/cm2.
The fluorescence spectrum is recorded and accessible for each measurement.
Two digital images (of whole sample and of test area) are stored with each test.
Data export capability electronic and hard copy.
LIMS compatible.

Application Areas:

Small spot, multi-element detection for toys and other consumer products
Designed for toxins detection for in-factory labs, 3rd party test labs, retail and regulatory environments
Ideal for testing of in process materials as well as finished goods inventory

Technical Specifications:

Doubly Curved Crystal (DCC) optics and multiple energy beams reduce background noise and separate coating composition from base material

Regulatory Environment:

Regulatory requirements governing the allowable limits of lead in toys and other children’s products are now being implemented rapidly, even for items manufactured prior to enactment of the 2008 Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). The rapid pace of U.S. regulation for children’s products is shown in the following timeline:

The U.S government’s enforcement arm for the new CPSIA law is the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), located at the following web site:

The HDS technology from XOS is available, and is particularly suited to assist in meeting these regulatory requirements.
