ROHS Rapid Screening by Benchtop XRF

24 Oct 2012

This application note describes the measurement of Cr, Hg, Pb, Br and Cd in polyethylene (PE) by XRF rapid screening using the empirical method. The Rigaku NEX QC gives the user a reliable and low-cost tool for measuring the toxic metals in PE and similar polymers for screening incoming raw materials and during the production process.

Rigaku NEX QC: Low Cost Elemental Analyzer

Rigaku Corporation

As a premium low cost benchtop Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) elemental analyzer, the Rigaku NEX QC delivers wide elemental coverage with an easy-to-learn software interface in a robust package designed for industrial at-line quality control applications. Specifically designed for routine quality control elemental analysis applications, the new Rigaku NEX QC features an intuitive "icon-driven" touch screen interface for easy operation and a built-in printer for convenience.The shuttered 50kV X-ray tube and Peltier cooled semiconductor detector deliver exceptional short-term repeatability and long-term reproducibility with excellent element peak resolution. This high voltage capability (50 kV), along with multiple automated X-ray tube filters, provides a wide range of XRF applications versatility and low limits-of-detection (LOD).NEX QC Features: Analyze 11Na to 92U non-destructively Solids, liquids, alloys, powders and thin films 50kV X-ray tube for wide elemental coverage Semiconductor detector for superior data quality Modern smartphone style "icon driven" user interface Multiple automated tube filters for enhanced sensitivity Convenient built in thermal printer Low cost with unmatched performance-to-price ratio Optional fundamental parameters
