The serial number on the tube is different from the serial number on the

1-800-875-1578 and ask to speak with someone regarding X-Ray tube
registrations and we can look this number up for you.
What is the type of X-Ray Processing?
None. XL3t analyzers do not use film.
How often do I need to perform leak tests on the XL3t?
Never. Leak tests are only required for analyzers with radioactive isotopes.
XL3t analyzers do not have radioactive isotopes.
In the US, you may be required to file for an exemption, "variance letter",
with your state if there is a requirement for a safety device that would
prevent entry of an extremity into the primary beam. If you need assistance
with the exemption letter, you may contact the radiation safety group.
