Spectroscopy Elemental Isotope Analysis

Get composition data on virtually any sample in minutes. The Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ QUANT'X EDXRF Spectrometer provides major, minor and trace element quantification across the broadest range of samples, including bulk solids, granules, powders, thin films and liquids. Featuring standardless software and accessories, this complete benchtop EDXRF (Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence) system meets the elemental analysis needs of central and contract laboratories, as well as the environmental monitoring, chemicals, mining, forensics, food, cement and metals industries.

The ARL QUANT'X EDXRF spectrometer offers the ultimate in performance, versatility and reliability of elemental analysis. Its compact desktop design, close-coupled optics and advanced electrically cooled detectors allow for unsurpassed analytical precision in a wide dynamic range from ppm to percent elemental concentrations.

The ARL QUANT’X EDXRF has become even more powerful! It is fitted with one of the latest generation SDD detectors. Fitted with a thin window and capable of handling high count rates at excellent resolutions, it brings superior performance across the periodic table, from light to heavy elements. Compared to the Si(Li) based ARL QUANT’X, the new version shows better sensitivities across the periodic table effectively improving precision and detection limits by a factor 2. Alternatively the counting time can be reduced by factor four on average!
