EDX-7000/8000 Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer

Principle and Features of X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry Principle of Fluore scent X- ray Generation When a sample is irradiated with X-rays from an X-ray tube, the atoms in the sample generate unique X-rays that are emitted from the sample. Such X-rays are known as "fluorescent X-rays" and they have a unique wavelength and energy that is characteristic of each element that generates them. Consequently, qualitative analysis can be performed by investigating the wavelengths of the X-rays. As the fluorescent X-ray intensity is a function of the concentration, quantitative analysis is also possible...

Unrivale d A naly tic al Per formance The high-performance SDD detector and optimized hardware achieve a high level of sensitivity, analysis speed, and energy resolution that were previously unattainable. The EDX-8000 system also permits detection from 6C. High Sensitivity − Lower Limit of Detection Improved 1.5 to 5 Times! − The high-performance SDD detector and combination of optimized optics and primary filters achieve previously unheard-of high levels of sensitivity. The sensitivity is higher than the previous Si (Li) semiconductor detector across the entire range from light to heavy elements....

High Resolution The EDX-7000/8000 instruments achieve superior energy Previous model resolution compared to previous models by incorporating a state-of-the-art SDD detector. This reduces the effects of overlapping peaks of different elements, enhancing the reliability of the analysis results. Comparison of Energy Resolutions (sample: PPS resin) No Liquid Nitrogen Required The SDD detector is electronically cooled, eliminating the need for cooling by liquid nitrogen. This frees the user from the chore of replenishing the liquid nitrogen and contributes to lower running costs. Range of Dete c ted...

E x tremely Flexible Accommodates all types of samples from small to large, from powders to liquids. Options include a vacuum measurement unit and helium purge unit for highly sensitive measurement of light elements and a 12-sample turret for automated continuous measurements. Sample Ob ser vation C amera and Collimator s Automatic collimator switching in four stages: 1, 3, 5, and 10 mm diameter Select the irradiation chamber from four values to suit the sample size. Select the most appropriate irradiation diameter for the sample shape: 1 mm diameter for trace foreign matter analysis or defect...

Optional Vacuum Measurement Unit and Helium Purge Unit Sensitivity for light elements can be increased by removing atmosphere. Two options are available: a vacuum measurement unit and a helium purge unit. The helium purge unit is effective when measuring liquid samples and samples that generate a gas and cannot be measured in a vacuum.

Comprehensive Quantitation Functions Calibration Curve Method A standard sample is measured and the relationship with the fluorescent X-ray intensity plotted as a calibration curve, which is used for the quantitation of unknown samples Although this method requires selection of a standard sample close to the unknown sample and creation of a calibration curve for each element, it achieves a high level of analysis This method supports all types of corrections for coexistent elements, ncluding absorption/excitation correction and correction for overlapping elements Fundamental Parameter (FP) Method...

Func tional De sign L arge Sample Chamber with Small Footprint Installed width is 20% smaller than the previous instrument due to its compact body size. The EDX-7000/8000 can accommodate samples up to a maximum size of W300 x D275 x approx. H100 mm. High -V isibilit y LED L amp When X-rays are generated, an X-ray indicator at the rear of the instrument and an X-RAYS ON lamp at the front turn on, so that the instrument status can be monitored even from a distance.
