The new Primini benchtop spectrometer represents the next stage in the evolution of Rigaku's line of WDXRF instrumentation. Using just three crystals, the Primini is capable of analysis from F 9 to U 92 in a vacuum or helium atmosphere. Since it is a WDXRF unit, the Primini does not have the resolution problems typically associated with EDS instruments, nor does it suffer from a lack of light element sensitivity. The Primini contains all the special software features available in other members of Rigaku's ZSX series, making it the most powerful benchtop system available. An analyst's basic needs are all satisfied by this new instrument: quantitative, qualitative, and semi-quantitative analysis. Analyze loose powders, pressed pellets, liquids, and fused disks with ease and confidence using proven software and dependable instrumentation. Using flow bars, set-up of quantitative and qualitative routines has never been easier. The Primini can also use Rigaku's patented Ultra Carry ® filters, which allow levels of detection never seen before in such a low-powered XRF unit. The spectrometer features a 6-position sample carousel with automated loading and is air cooled, eliminating the need for external cooling associated with traditional XRF instrumentation. The Primini also has no special power requirements: it operates on standard 110 volts. Features - High resolution compared to EDXRF - High light element sensitivity - Analyze multiple film samples to a maximum of 10 layers - Vacuum or helium environments for enhanced low-Z performance (optional) - Reduced operational costs: Very low P-10 gas flow Standard 110 V/60 Hz Air cooled tube CE marked
