　　Award Name: Handheld XRF High-Performance Breakthrough Pioneer Award

　　Award Subject: EXPLORER Series Handheld X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer

　　Applicant: Jiangsu Skyray Instrument Co., Ltd.

　　Reasons for Application

　　Skyray Instrument's EXPLORER series handheld X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, leveraging three core technologies—Digital Multi-Channel Analyzer, Fast-SDD Detector, and Integrated X-ray Tube—achieves a breakthrough in handheld device performance that rivals benchtop instruments. Its proprietary ultra-close optical path design enables on-site detection of the full elemental spectrum from magnesium (Mg) to uranium (U) without the need for helium purging, overcoming the long-standing challenge of light element analysis in the field.

　　The EXPLORER 9000 has also been awarded the "Environmental Protection Product Certification" by the China Association of Environmental Protection Industry (Certificate No.: CCAEPI-EP-2025-311), making it the first XRF instrument in China to receive this certification. This marks national-level authoritative recognition of its environmental detection performance. Combined with military-grade protection, an intelligent three-color safety warning system, and ultra-long battery life, the EXPLORER series has evolved into an intelligent analysis and decision-making terminal for users in demanding environments across fields such as geological exploration, alloy identification, and environmental monitoring.

　　This award aims to recognize how the EXPLORER series, through reliable technology, authoritative certification, and safety design, is driving handheld analytical instruments into a new era of "accuracy, safety, and all-around capability."

　　Product Introduction

　　The EXPLORER portable X-ray fluorescence analyzer is a new-generation portable XRF product with independent intellectual property rights, developed by Skyray Instrument based on 10 years of handheld XRF technology R&D experience. It integrates multiple technologies including optoelectronics, microelectronics, semiconductors, and computers.

　　The EXPLORER 9000 portable XRF soil heavy metal analyzer features a new large-screen, high-resolution LCD display and a new digital multi-channel processor. It enables in-situ testing and remediation analysis of soil pollutants, effectively detecting heavy metals such as mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), and manganese (Mn) in contaminated soil. Additional elements can be customized upon request. The instrument is not only small and lightweight for easy portability, but also delivers exceptional performance comparable to benchtop systems, capable of reliably measuring soils with even low heavy metal concentrations.

　　It offers six key performance advantages: easier operation, easier operation (as in original text), stronger power supply, higher-end configuration, better safety protection, and smarter software. Compact and lightweight, it combines benchtop-level performance with handheld flexibility, making it an ideal tool for soil heavy metal monitoring and remediation.
