Introduction

For more demanding applications, or for situations where analysis time or sample throughput is critical, Rigaku offers the new NEX QC+ spectro­meter. Employing the next generation silicon detector technology, the enhanced NEX QC+ affords significant improvement in elemental peak resolution and counting statistics, resulting in superior calibrations and measurement precision for the most challenging measurements.

Specifically designed for routine quality control applications, the new Rigaku NEX QC+ features an intuitive "icon-driven" touch screen interface for easy operation and a built-in printer for convenience.

Features

  • Analyze ₁₁Na to ₉₂U non-destructively
  • Solids, liquids, alloys, powders and thin films
  • 50kV X-ray tube for wide elemental coverage
  • SDD detector for superior resolution and sensitivity
  • 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

 

Measures

The NEX QC+ model uses a silicon drift detector which affords better sensitivities and counts compared to the Si PIN diode detector by 3-10 fold. An example of the improved sensitivity is for coal analysis where Chloride and Phosphorous can also be analysed as well as Sulphur. The coal application can also be extended to include predicted ash content, making for a fast method for coal type identification compared to combustion methods with long elapsed time.

The SDD detector also has better resolution for medium and heavy matrices such as ore samples.

Typical applications include:

Coal – S, Cl, P, Ash content

Oil – S, Cl

Smelting – Ca, Si, S, Cr, Ni

Coatings – Si

Milk – Fe, Ca

Ore analysis- Fe, Si, Cu, Zn, Ag, Pb
