Product catalog summary
Introduction
The SPECTRO MIDEX MID05 is a small-spot energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) spectrometer designed for precious metals testing. It offers a smart alternative to traditional fire assay methods, providing improved sensitivity and speed.

Specifications and Features
The fifth generation of SPECTRO MIDEX analyzers boasts up to triple the point analysis sensitivity of previous models, approaching the precision of fire assay technology while surpassing it in speed and ease of use. It is optimized for precious metals applications, offering high precision and accuracy for a wide range of concentration levels with testing times as low as 15 seconds.

Performance and Usability
The SPECTRO MIDEX provides exceptional performance in analyzing precious metal alloys, with high precision and accuracy. It is user-friendly, featuring intuitive software and an integrated video system for sample positioning. The device supports easy operation with a single screen click or a start/stop button.

Cost-Effectiveness
The spectrometer offers high-reliability and cost-effective analysis, reducing the need for additional costly testing methods like fire assay or ICP-OES.

Technological Advancements
The SPECTRO MIDEX excels in detecting minor and trace elements, thanks to its high-resolution silicon drift detector (SDD) and ultra-high count rate, delivering up to 3X higher intensities than previous models.

Design and Support
The compact and robust design fits tight benchtop spaces and accommodates various sample sizes. The device is supported globally by the AMECARE Performance Services program, ensuring peak performance and extended instrument life.

Technical Specifications
The spectrometer features a silicon drift detector, a 40 W X-ray tube with a molybdenum anode, and operates on a power supply of 95-120 V / 200-240 V. It includes a video system for sample imaging and a manually adjustable sample table.

Conclusion
The SPECTRO MIDEX MID05 is part of a comprehensive suite of advanced elemental analyzers by SPECTRO, offering unparalleled results in the industry with over 30 years of experience in elemental analysis.

SPECTRO MIDEX Precious Metals-2

The fifth generation of fast, accurate analysis for precious metals SPECTRO MIDEX Accuracy of elemental analysis is often critical — especially in assessing precious metals. Remelted samples from reclaimed/recycled alloys may contain other elements besides the expected gold, silver, copper, or platinum. Assayers and refiners need instruments with the sensitivity to detect and precisely analyze even minor or trace amounts, to assess true composition and value. Other users may prioritize speed. High-volume hallmarking centers demand both fast and accurate analysis. In addition, all users prefer...

SPECTRO MIDEX Precious Metals-3

SPECTRO MIDEX Technology takes the next step One drawback of some XRF analyzers is their inability to detect minor and trace amounts of some nonprecious elements. This may render them incapable of precisely determining the content of major precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum. Example: in a gold alloy sample, failing to detect ten minor elements, each at 0.05%, could produce an erroneous — and expensive — 0.5% higher total for gold. Fortunately, SPECTRO MIDEX excels at this type of challenging analysis. And its newest high-resolution silicon drift detector (SDD) makes determination...
