TXRF spectrometer S2 PICOFOX

laboratoryindustrial

The S2 PICOFOX is a transportable TXRF spectrometer for ultra-trace element analysis. Due to its complete independence of any gas or cooling medium, the analyzer can be used not only in the laboratory but also for on-site analyses in the field. Simultaneous multi-element trace analysis, including halogenides Analysis of smallest sample amounts in the nanogram or microgram range Simple quantification using an internal standard without daily calibration Suitable for various sample types and applications No matrix or memory effects Low operating cost, no need for any media, disposables or periodic maintenance Water Analysis with the Clean Water Package for the S2 PICOFOX The Clean Water Package for the S2 PICOFOX is a purpose-built solution for the on-site environmental monitoring of fresh water, wastewater and effulents. Using the Clean Water Package users can easily take the S2 PICOFOX into the field, where it can be used for the ultra-trace elemental analysis of water samples. The Clean Water Package includes the wastewater reference standard SPS-WW2, prepared on quartz disks. The S2 PICOFOX working principle is based on total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) analysis. The use of monochromatic radiation and total reflection optics leads to the following benefits of the S2 PICOFOX: Reduced absorption and scattering effects in the sample matrix enable an easy quantification by internal standardization. Short detector to sample distance leads to an enhanced fluorescence yield. Due to the reduced background, detection limits are several orders of magnitude lower.
