A benchtop system may look like the safest option when the budget is limited. However, it might not handle your samples, throughput, or future needs. A larger floor-standing system may give you more power and flexibility, but you might not use enough of that capability to justify the cost.
If you are a lab manager, researcher, QC professional, or procurement lead trying to compare X-ray system options, this guide is written for you. It focuses on commonly used XRD, XRF, and X-ray CT systems and does not cover highly specialized or ultra-high-end configurations. The goal is to help you think through what to buy, what to add later, and when it makes more sense to outsource.
