The Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer EDX-7000/8000 measures the energy (keV) and intensity of the generated fluorescent X-rays to determine the type and content of the elements comprising a sample. It is applied for non-destructive elemental analysis of solid, powder, and liquid samples. It is widely used by electronics and automobile manufacturers around the world. Unrivaled Analytical Performance
The high-performance SDD detector and optimized hardware achieve a high level of sensitivity, analysis speed, and energy resolution that were previously unattainable. The EDX-8000 system also permits detection from 6C.
High Sensitivity - Lower Limit of Detection Improved 1.5 to 5 Times! -
The high-performance SDD detector and combination of optimized optics and primary filters achieve previously unheard-of high levels of sensitivity. The sensitivity is higher than the previous Si (Li) semiconductor detector across the entire range from light to heavy elements.
High Speed - Throughput Increased by up to a Factor of 10 -
The high fluorescent X-ray count per unit time (high count rate) of the SDD detector permits highly precise analysis in a shorter measurement time. This feature is achieved to the maximum when analyzing samples that generate a lot of fluorescent X-rays, such as samples with a metal as the Main component element.
High Resolution
The EDX-7000/8000 instruments achieve superior energy resolution compared to previous models by incorporating a state-of-the-art SDD detector. This reduces the effects of overlapping peaks of different elements, enhancing the reliability of the analysis results
No Liquid Nitrogen Required
The SDD detector is electronically cooled, eliminating the need for cooling by liquid nitrogen. This frees the user from the chore of replenishing the liquid nitrogen and contributes to lower running costs.
Extremely Flexible
Accommodates all types of samples from small to large, from powders to liquids. Options include a vacuum measurement unit and helium purge unit for highly sensitive measurement of light elements and a 12-sample turret for automated continuous measurements.
