The HXT264
One of the most advanced X-ray diffraction screening systems currently available, having an optimised combination of small footprint, reliability, reduced cost, and exceptional speed of operation.
The HXT264 is based on revolutionary focal construct technology developed by leading UK experts at Nottingham Trent University and Cranfield University.
Focal construct technology expands the interrogating beam to generate an annulus or ‘halo’, which increases diffraction signal strength by orders of magnitude. This results in threat resolution in most cases within ~2s and is achieved without stopping the conveyor.

What is XRD technology
The HXT's unique selling point is a patented innovation, which creates an X-ray optical lever. This lever produces an annulus from the X-ray generator that substantially magnifies XRD signal strength. This enhanced material-specific information allows our X-ray equipment to inspect items, such as bags, minerals and human tissue, in real time, at low dose, in a small format and at low cost.
Our novel approach enables real-time analysis in a compact footprint, using ‘gold-standard’ angular-dispersive or energy-dispersive XRD discrimination to establish the presence of specific material within the inspected item. These solutions underpin our IP and know-how for independent XRD screening techniques. These new systems will continue to be developed as part of HXT’s ongoing commitment to advanced diffraction systems.
