Environmental Applications
EDXRF spectrometers provide a fast, reliable, and economical solution for determining elemental composition in almost any sample type. Their ability to quickly measure elemental concentrations in a wide range of environmental samples makes them invaluable for monitoring, remediation, and research. Additionally, EDXRF is a recognized standard technique by environmental agencies such as the U.S. EPA. Its use is often stipulated in environmental regulations and guidelines, ensuring that your analysis meets regulatory requirements.
Whether measuring toxic heavy metals in aerosols on air filters, monitoring industrial waste streams to sub-ppm levels, or testing soils, our cost-effective EDXRF solutions can help you achieve quick results without complex setups or extensive sample preparation.
Benchtop solutions
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 elemental composition data 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
- Multi-element capabilities, from ultra-low concentrations to percent levels
- Measurement of all elements from sodium (Na) to uranium (U)
- Multi-application versatility, including soil, water, air filters, waste streams
- Easy sample preparation and no complex setups
- Parts-per-billion concentration levels for aqueous samples using Ultra Carry
- Simple, easy operation, 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.
Calibration standards can be expensive and difficult to obtain for many applications. With RPF-SQX, the number of required standards is greatly reduced. This option significantly lowers the cost of ownership and reduces your workload requirements.
For routine or on-site analysis NEX QC and NEX QC+
Recommended when you need an affordable system for identifying and quantifying the elemental composition of your samples. These systems feature touchscreen operation and built-in printers for added convenience. They have a small footprint, are transportable, and require no external computer.
