Elemental Analysis for Today's Cost Pressures
Rigaku EDXRF benchtops deliver multi-element analysis at lower total cost of ownership—from routine screening to trace element analysis.

Why EDXRF?
EDXRF (energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence) offers you a faster, simpler, and cost-effective alternative to more complex elemental analysis techniques.
Results in minutes
Non-destructive analysis
Low maintenance and running costs
EDXRF doesn’t replace methods like ICP, but it reduces costs, speeds up workflows, and delivers dependable elemental data across many industries.
Why Rigaku?
