The Thermo Scientific™ MEP-400 Multi-Element Probe improves XRF elemental slurry analysis without the need for radioisotopes.
Occupational Health & Safety
Improved radiation safety - Radioisotopes are eliminated, incorporation of an X-ray tube means radiation can be turned off and locked out, fail safe design, high visibility beacon for visual status and alarm conditions
If Upgrading from MEP-200, MEP-400 eliminates Occupational Health & Safety risks previously associated with liquid nitrogen
Silicon Drift Detector (SDD)
Lower detection limits and improved analytical results due to higher count rates, high speed digital signal processor, better resolution
Higher availability
Field repairable - eliminates probe “returns” to the factory
Maintenance and Operations
Quick change window
No need for external standardization, thus saving maintenance time and further improving availability
No financial cost or handling of liquid nitrogen
Lower cost of critical spares
Field replaceable modules, cable assemblies and X-ray tube

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How can I request a quote or upgrade assessment for the MEP-400 probe?
Organizations interested in upgrading their existing AnStat or MSA systems can contact Thermo Fisher Scientific for a site assessment, equipment audit, and upgrade proposal tailored to their operation using the Request a quote function on thermofisher.com.
How does the MEP-400 probe improve mine site safety?
The Thermo Scientific MEP-400 Multi-Element Probe eliminates radioactive isotope sources, removes liquid nitrogen handling requirements, incorporates engineered safety features, and allows the X-ray source to be powered off and locked out during maintenance activities.
How does the MEP-400 probe support digital mining and process automation initiatives?
The Thermo Scientific MEP-400 Multi-Element Probe provides continuous online elemental data that can be integrated into process control and optimization strategies, supporting automation initiatives and providing data that can assist operational decision-making.
What utilities are required for MEP-400 probe installation?
The Thermo Scientific MEP-400 Multi-Element Probe is installed into an MSA or AnStat system which requires instrument air, electrical power, an ethernet connection, and water for cleaning. Specific installation requirements may vary depending on the analyzer configuration and site conditions.
Will an MEP-400 probe upgrade require recalibration?
Yes. Following installation of the Thermo Scientific MEP-400 Multi-Element Probe Upgrade, the analyzer will require recalibration to ensure optimal analytical performance and accuracy for the site's specific process material and conditions.
