NEX QC II Series
EDXRF for Everyday Quality Control
Fast, non-destructive elemental testing made simple
The NEX QC II Series simplifies routine quality control and elemental testing. These compact benchtop EDXRF analyzers deliver fast results for solids, liquids, powders, and thin films—ideal for everyday quality control in labs, plants, and production environments. Designed for ease of use, the NEX QC II and NEX QC II+ feature intuitive operation with an embedded computer and built-in printer, so your team can get results quickly with no specialized technical background required. The first-generation NEX QC+ QuantEZ remains available for users who require expanded method development, advanced calibration strategies, and optional compliance features, including 21 CFR Part 11 support.
NEX QC II Series Overview
Trusted technology, next-generation performance
The NEX QC II Series is a second-generation line of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analyzers built on the proven NEX QC platform. Designed specifically for industrial quality control, the systems deliver fast, non-destructive elemental analysis with no technical background required.
Its compact, fanless design protects internal components in harsh environments, and the embedded computer and built-in printer eliminate the need for PCs on the plant floor. The clear, icon-driven touchscreen interface guides you through setup to results, minimizing training time and reducing operator error.
This new design incorporates graphene window silicon drift detectors, refined optics, upgraded electronics, improved detector protection, and a redesigned touchscreen interface. These enhancements support fast, reliable measurements with minimal training and make the system easy to use across production floors, manufacturing lines, and laboratory settings.
Compared to the original NEX QC models, NEX QC II instruments offer improved measurement performance, better light-element sensitivity, and a more intuitive interface.
The series includes two new models, the NEX QC II and NEX QC II+, to accommodate different performance needs and budgets. The NEX QC+ QuantEZ system, offered separately, continues to support users who rely on QuantEZ software features such as reduced dependence on standards and 21 CFR Part 11 support.
Everyday elemental analysis made simple
Model: NEX QC II
The NEX QC II provides routine multi-element testing across a wide range of materials, making it an excellent fit for daily QC tasks, incoming and outgoing material checks, and at-line verification.
Designed for simple operation, the NEX QC II features an embedded computer and a clear, icon-driven touchscreen interface that guides users through setup and measurement. Most operators can begin running samples with only a brief introduction. Its compact, fanless design fits easily into tight spaces and on-site testing locations, and the built-in printer offers fast, on-demand reporting at the instrument.
Product highlights:
- Compact, space-saving design, no external computer required
- Redesigned touchscreen interface for ease of training and operation
- Reliable general-purpose performance for routine QC applications
- Built-in printer for immediate reporting
- Optional carrying case for portability
NEX QC II+ delivers higher performance and throughput
Model: NEX QC II+
The NEX QC II+ is the higher-performance model in the new generation, offering faster analysis times, enhanced light-element sensitivity, and improved spectral resolution. Its upgraded SDD allows QC teams to achieve tighter specifications, reduce measurement times, and handle more demanding applications with confidence. It is ideal for facilities that need increased throughput or higher sensitivity without adding operational complexity.
Product highlights:
- Higher-resolution graphene window SDD for improved sensitivity
- Ideal for more demanding QC environments requiring tighter specs
- Enhanced light-element performance
- Same simple, intuitive touchscreen operation as NEX QC II
NEX QC+ QuantEZ expands your analytical capabilities
Model: NEX QC+ QuantEZ
Take your elemental analysis to the next level with the NEX QC+ QuantEZ analyzer. This model offers a step up in performance and capabilities by adding powerful QuantEZ software.
Designed for users who need more than an entry-level system, the NEX QC+ QuantEZ runs from an external desktop or laptop computer. The core unit no longer features a touchscreen panel, but configurations are available with it for a hybrid experience.
NEX QC+ QuantEZ combines high-performance hardware with advanced software to simplify and streamline even the most complex workflows. This system transforms your experience with simple menu navigation and a customizable EZ Analysis screen. Unlike the base models, EZ Analysis uses an intuitive flow bar wizard for a step-by-step setup for creating your own methods. This simplifies method development to maximize your time and boost your productivity.
This model also expands your range of applications with the availability of RPF-SQX Fundamental Parameters. This software option reduces the need for standards, which can be expensive and hard to obtain. SureDI is also offered to support compliance with 21 CFR Part 11. This option allows those in regulated industries, like pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, to meet FDA requirements confidently.
Which model is best?
The best model depends on your specific analytical needs and the nature of your samples. We offer a comprehensive range of EDXRF spectrometers, from entry-level for basic screening to high-end models for challenging and complex applications. If you are not sure which instrument fits your needs, please feel free to contact us. We can help you find the right solution.
