Oxford Instruments Inc recently announced a new distribution agreement with Verichek Technical Services (VTS) to sell the X-MET handheld XRF analyzer into customers requiring scrap sorting and PMI testing capability in the US as of April 1, 2011. Verichek already offers Oxford Instruments’ OES (Optical Emission Spectroscopy) product range in the USA, and this new agreement complements their existing product portfolio and expertise. Offering a quick local response across the USA, Verichek will sell and support the X-MET product for these markets through a sales & service network that will install & train, service, and calibrate instruments.
