X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer Shimadzu Europe

Analysis using X-rays

Energy Dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (EDX) is the instrument to perform qualitative and quantitative element analysis in the range from 6C/11Na to 92U and is the ideal tools for non-destructive applications. EDX is used in many different applications areas in the chemical, electronic and food industries as well as refineries. It can be used with solid, powder and liquid samples. This is achieved by applying X-ray to the sample and then analysing the re-emitted element characteristic fluorescent X-ray. Security functions effectively prevent exposure to X-rays at all times.

Easy handling and improved detection limits

With a simple push of a button, elements ranging from sodium to uranium can be analysed quickly and easily. In addition, the software enables measuring conditions to be adapted to the sample characteristic. For precise analysis of lighter elements the systems can be operated optionally under vacuum or under a helium atmosphere. The built-in five-filter assembly (zirconium, aluminium, titanium, nickel and molybdenum) effectively reduces interferences and increases the signal quality. This way, the limits are markedly improved for detection of e.g. lead, cadmium, chlorine or chromium.
