Elemental Analysis of Food and Foodstuffs
EDXRF is used to determine the elemental composition for a wide range of applications in the food industry. Whether you are monitoring nutrient levels like calcium, iron, and zinc or screening for harmful heavy metals and other contaminants, such as lead, arsenic, or cadmium, EDXRF can help you ensure quality, safety, and nutritional value.
Our EDXRF spectrometers provide a simple, fast, reliable, and cost-effective solution for monitoring incoming raw materials, at-line production control, and testing finished products. Explore how our solutions can help you achieve your analytical goals.
Benchtop solutions for food applications
We offer a comprehensive range of budget-friendly benchtops, whether your needs are for basic screening and testing purposes or advanced and complex applications. All systems provide results in minutes and do not need ongoing allocations for expensive consumables and maintenance. Here are some advantages that our systems provide:
- Rapid, non-destructive elemental analysis of solids, liquids, oils, and powders
- Multi-element capabilities, from ultra-low concentrations to percent levels
- Measurement of all elements from sodium (Na) to uranium (U)
- Analysis without standards using RPF-SQX Fundamental Parameters
- Multi-application versatility, including raw materials and finished products
- Easy sample preparation and autosamplers available for increased throughput
- Simple operation with intuitive software, even for non-technical personnel
- Low cost of ownership, self-installed and maintained
Advanced Fundamental Parameters Software
Advanced qualitative and quantitative analysis is powered by our RPF-SQX FP software, featuring Rigaku Profile Fitting (RPF) technology and Scattering FP. This software allows semi-quantitative analysis of almost all sample types without standards and rigorous quantitative analysis with standards. Scattering FP automatically estimates the concentration of unmeasurable low atomic number elements (hydrogen to fluorine) and provides appropriate corrections.
Given at least one sample with known concentrations from a referee technique, the software allows you to quickly and easily create a Matching Library. This feature changes the analysis from semi-quant to fully quantitative, tuning your XRF to your specific analysis needs.
Calibration standards can be expensive and difficult to obtain. With RPF-SQX, the number of required standards is greatly reduced. This option significantly lowers the cost of ownership and reduces your workload requirements.
