The FT230 includes newly developed smart part recognition for fast and foolproof analysis setup. This automates the most frustrating and potentially error-prone part of the analysis setup - selecting the right recipe for each analysis location.
The FT230 is the first product to run Hitachi’s new FT Connect software, building on over four decades of experience and user feedback on established software including SmartLink and X-ray Station.
