Periodic table of elements analyzed by XRF<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>

Get qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis at concentration levels ranging from sub parts-per-million (ppm) to 100% concentrations. For example, the bench top Thermo Scientific ARL QUANT\u2019X EDXRF Spectrometer shows high sensitivity across the periodic table\u2014improving precision and detection limits compared to previous versions.<\/p>

It is now available with an improved silicon drift detector (SDD500G) that delivers spectacular improvements in sensitivity for light elements such as fluorine, and even extending the analytical range down to carbon.\u00a0The instrument comes with an adjustable beam size to bridge the gap between bulk and micro XRF without compromise.<\/p>

For applications needing the highest resolutions, wavelength dispersive XRF is the answer. Thermo Scientific sequential Thermo Scientific ARL PERFORM\u2019X WDXRF Spectrometer can analyze from beryllium (Be) to americium (Am) in various types of samples.<\/p>

The ARL PERFORM\u2019X can also measure small spots of 0.5 mm and perform elemental mapping that are defined thanks to an integrated CCD camera.<\/p>

XRF Materials Analysis<\/strong><\/h2><\/div><\/div>

Easily analyze a broad range of materials including conductive and non-conductive solids, liquids, loose powders, pressed pellets, fusion beads, pastes, granules and coatings.<\/p>

Many sample types can be analyzed using spectrometers, with the ability to optimize the instrument for your specific application needs.<\/p>

In addition, Thermo Scientific\u2019s versatile, state-of-the-art instruments are efficient and easy to operate, helping manufacturers and researchers across a wide range of applications solve their most challenging tasks.<\/p>
