This second generation model is a low cost entry level model that has been redesigned with upgraded optics and electronics, improved detector sensitivity and protection, redesigned touchscreen interface and better safety features. All fitted into a smaller lighter footprint.
Specifically designed for routine production quality control applications, the new model has replaced the PIN diode detector with a more sensitive silicon drift detector with a larger active area yielding better sensitivity by approx. 2 fold. The detector window has also been improved with the new graphene membrane.
Instrument sample presentation has many options including single large area sample profiling, sample spinning or 5 or 6 sample auto-loader.
With the new high resolution touch display, data presentation is sharper and the better layout, can make for a faster data entry and retrieval. Added connectivity means data can be downloaded to a network or LIMS system.
Safety has been upgraded to include a stronger sample compartment door with dual locking mechanism and high visibility instrument operation
Sealed optics and electronics to work in harsh environments
Inbuilt intel processor with touch icon interface
Multiple automated tube filters for enhanced sensitivity
Convenient built in thermal printer
Low cost with unmatched performance-to-price ratio
Applications
With a silicon PIN diode detector, the NEX QC offers the best sensitities in the light matricies such as liquids and wood samples. Some examples include:
Liquid fertilisers – K & P
Biodiesel, Oil – S & Cl
Lubricant additives – Mo
Paint – Ti, Si
Solvents – Fe
With liquid samples the NEX QC can use the UltraCarry accessory. This allows liquid sample droplets to be concentrated to provide better detection levels by up to 3-5 times. This is ideal for volatile samples.
The NEX QC can be used for wood & timber analysis. Examples include:
CCA addition – Cu, Cr, As
Penta addition – Cl
ACZA addition – Cu, As, Zn
IPBC addition – I
Other examples of solid sample analysis include:
Ore analysis – Fe, Cu, Zr, Ru
Metal alloys – Al, Fe, Cu, Zn
