NEX QC OVERVIEW

EDXRF Optimized for Quality Control Applications

• 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.

EDXRF With Broad Elemental Coverage

• The shuttered 50 kV X-ray tube and Peltier cooled semiconductor detector deliver exceptional short-term repeatability and long-term reproducibility with excellent element peak resolution. This high voltage capability (50 kV), along with multiple automated X-ray tube filters, provides a wide range of applications versatility and low limits-of-detection (LOD).

NEX QC Options: Autosampler and Helium Purge Options

• Options include automatic sample changer, sample spinner and helium purge for enhanced light element sensitivity. For those applications requiring higher resolution and sensitivity, Rigaku offers the NEX QC+ energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analyser which is equipped with a silicon drift detector (SDD).
