New Low Cost Benchtop EDXRF Spectrometer

Rigaku has introduced a new low cost benchtop Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer, the
Rigaku NEX QC. This compact elemental analyser delivers rapid quantitative determination of sodium (11Na) to uranium (92U) in solids, liquids, powders and alloys. Specifically designed for routine quality control applications, the new Rigaku NEX QC features an intuitive ‘icon-driven’ smartphone-style interface for easy operation and a
built-in printer for convenience.

The shuttered 50kV X-ray tube and Peltier cooled semiconductor detector deliver exceptional short-term repeatability and long-term reproducibility with excellent element peak resolution. This high voltage capability (50 kV), along with multiple automated X-ray tube filters, provides a wide range of applications versatility and low limits-of-detection (LOD). Options include fundamental parameters, automatic sample changer, sample spinner and helium purge for enhanced light element sensitivity.
