Fast and flexible XRF spectrometer for elemental analysis

Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched the Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ X900 XRF Spectrometer, designed to meet the specific needs of lab managers in metallurgy, mining, and cement industries. This advanced instrument analyses over twenty elements in under one minute, combining exceptional speed and reliability while building upon the legacy of the well-known Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ 9900 XRF Spectrometer.

The ARL X900 Spectrometer enhances precision and versatility, empowering lab managers to streamline operations, reduce production costs, and boost overall efficiency. Its unique features, including a full XRF goniometer, high-performance fixed channels, and dual-sample loader, offer users increased flexibility and throughput for industrial process control. By integrating advanced XRF and XRD capabilities, the ARL X900 enables comprehensive material characterisation and phase analysis for applications in cement, direct reduced iron (DRI), and aluminium smelting.

With the ARL X900 Spectrometer, lab managers can expect a robust solution that surpasses their expectations for elemental analysis instrumentation. As one of the most precise WDXRF spectrometers on the market, it stands out as the only instrument combining XRF and XRD for advanced process control and material characterisation.

Key customers include metallurgy, mining, and cement plant laboratories, as well as process control labs in industries such as steel, aluminium, copper, slags, alloys, cement, clinker, raw materials (ores), and geochemistry. The ARL X900 offers accelerated elemental analysis, achieving rapid and precise results, which allows for quick decision-making and process optimisation. Users benefit from enhanced precision and flexibility through dual-sample loading and a unique combination of simultaneous and sequential XRF analysis, ensuring high reliability and operational flexibility. Additionally, the integrated compact XRD system enables detailed phase analysis, particularly valuable in applications such as cement, DRI, and aluminium electrolysis, empowering users with comprehensive process and quality control capabilities.
