Rigaku confirms their leadership in the supply of benchtop analytical X-ray instrumentation with the release of the new SuperMini X-ray fluorescence spectrometer

Rigaku Americas Corporation continues its long history of innovation in the area of benchtop analytical X-ray equipment, presenting the new SuperMini, a 200 W wavelength dispersive X-ray spectrometer. The SuperMini will be unveiled at Pittcon 2008, Booth 5321.

SuperMini: The world's first high-powered benchtop wavelength dispersive XRF spectrometer

Low levels of detection and exceptional energy resolution are the trademarks of the wavelength dispersive XRF (WDXRF) technique. Traditional high-powered "big iron" WDXRF spectrometers provide the ultimate in lower limit of detection and energy resolution, but have a high cost of ownership and somewhat specialized installation requirements. The 50 W ZSXmini benchtop WDXRF first released by Rigaku in 2001 represented a paradigm shift in the industry, providing many of the benefits of the larger WDXRF machines at a greatly reduced cost, with simplified installation. The release of the higher-powered 200 W SuperMini benchtop system takes the next step by closing the gap in performance while maintaining the benefits of a benchtop machine.
