Concord, MA – 2013 Oxford Instruments, a leading manufacturer of high quality analytical instruments for a wide range of applications, is pleased to announce a new sales and distribution agreement with Eastern Applied Research. This partnership was part of a strategic roadmap to grow and strengthen the Oxford Instruments regional distributor network by having Eastern Applied Research distribute the handheld X-MET7000 Series XRF analyzers throughout the Northeast into the precious metal, mining, electronics (RoHS), coating thickness and environmental markets. Managers of Oxford Instruments and Eastern Applied Research solidified this agreement because they believe it provides exceptional strategic synergy for both organizations.

Oxford Instruments proudly welcomes Eastern Applied Research to the Oxford Instruments network of distributors. Chris Horvath, Oxford Instruments Director of Sales & Marketing for XRF Products – Americas states, “We at Oxford Instruments are very pleased with this strategic alliance. For many years, Eastern Applied Research has supplied this industry with great sales and service support within these key markets which we now plan to target more aggressively. It is in conjunction with their great local industry knowledge, and position, that our highly competitive handheld XRF products can now reach a larger portion of customers within these existing markets. We look forward to a great partnership!”

Eastern Applied Research, Inc. has been a regional sales provider of X-Ray Fluorescence technology since 1991. With over twenty years experience in all facets of X-ray Fluorescence technology, this is the first handheld XRF instrument made available through Eastern Applied Research. “We looked at other handheld systems, but none could match the performance of the X-MET. We are especially excited about the report generation capabilities of this product line which compares favorably with many benchtop systems on the market,” commented Shawn Kramer, President of Eastern Applied Research. The introduction of the handheld XRF analyzer into the Eastern Applied Research portfolio is in response to our clients’ interest in portability for common applications, like hazardous substance detection. The addition of the Handheld X-MET XRF analyzer will allow Eastern Applied Research to develop new client opportunities and will also be a fit with many of its current clients.

North American customers of Oxford Instruments, located in the Northeast, should contact Eastern Applied Research for product sales of the X-MET XRF analyzers used for precious metals, mining, RoHS, coating thickness, soil testing and environmental analysis. Their knowledgeable staff will ensure the right product fit for your needs
