Rigaku EDXRF Benchtops (NEX CG II Series, NEX DE Series, NEX QC Series)

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?

Everyone's needs are different. That’s why we offer a complete family of benchtop systems, each engineered for a specific balance of precision, performance, and price.
