Benefit: Elemental analysis of solids, liquids, powders, alloys and thin films

Technology: Tube above sequential wavelength dispersive (WDXRF)

Core attributes: 3/4 kW sealed X-ray tube, 48-position auto sampler, analyze Be to U, vacuum

Core options: He-flush, additional analyzing crystals, r-θ stage/mapping

Core dimensions: 1310 (W) x 1470 (H) x 890 (D) mm

Power requirements: 1Ø, 200 VAC 50/60 Hz, 8 kW


The key features of WDXRF includes:


    1.) Analysis of elements from Be to U

    2.) ZSX Guidance expert system software

    3.) Tube above optics minimizes contamination issues

    4.) Small footprint uses less valuable lab space

    5.) Micro analysis to analyze samples as small as 500 µm

    6.) 30μ tube delivers superior light element performance

    7.) Mapping feature for elemental topography/distribution

    Sample Preparation facilities:

    Press pellets preparation of powdered samples < 200 mess is available
