X-ray fluorescence spectrometer

The ARL QUANT'X EDXRF spectrometer provides extreme performance, versatility, and reliability for elemental analysis. Its compact desktop design, tightly coupled optical components, and electronically cooled detector enable us to achieve unparalleled analytical accuracy over a wide dynamic range from ppm to percentage element concentrations.

The functionality of ARL QUANT'X EDXRF has become even more powerful! In addition to the Peltier cooled Si (Li) detector, the instrument is now equipped with an SDD-SDD1000 with a thickness of 1mm and an area of 30mm2. SDD can handle high count rates with excellent resolution and is typically much thinner than Si (Li) detectors. The common thickness is 0.45mm, and the detection efficiency is poor at higher energies. The thickness of the new SDD1000 in ARL QUANT'X has more than doubled, reaching 1mm. Compared with the Si (Li) based ARL QUANT'X, the SDD1000 version exhibits better sensitivity in the periodic table, with a detection limit increased by 2 times, and is also suitable for heavy metal elements such as Cd and Sn. In addition, the counting time can be reduced to 1/4 of the original! The new SDD1000 combines the advantages of SDD and Si (Li) detector.
