Shimadzu EDX-7000 Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer
Description
The EDX-7000 system incorporating a new state-of-the-art semiconductor (SDD) detector offers a high fluorescent X-ray sensitivity. This allows for precise and high-resolution analysis while increasing throughput without sacrificing accuracy. The electronically cooled SDD detector does not require liquid nitrogen reducing running costs and maintenance requirements. When combined with optimized optics and five primary filters, the EDX-7000 spectrometer achieve high levels of sensitivity and energy resolution at competitively low costs.
Instrument Features
Table-top footprint. Automated analysis of up to 12 samples. Non-monochromatic or filtered Rh x-ray source. X-ray source using Rh target up to 50 kV. Irradiation areas of diameter 1, 3, 5 and 10 mm. Five options of primary filters. 12-sample turret for multiple sample analysis. CMOS camera for sample visualization and alignment. Solid state detector with energy resolution < 140 eV Mn K-alpha. PCEDX-Navi and PCEDX-Pro for data processing and analysis, including calibration curve method and matrix correction.
Popular Applications
Elemental quantification analysis for elements from Na to U. Samples can be in powder, thin film, bulk, or liquid form. Measurements can be done in the air or under He environment. Thin film thickness determination (limited cases). Detection limits: ppm (heavy elements) to 0.1 at% (light elements).
