Elemental Analysis of Food, Cosmetics, Fertilizer, Feeds & Environment by EDXRF - Environmental
For characterization and remediation of contaminated soils, sediments, and sludges, energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis provides quick and reliable assays. EDXRF is a standard technique recognized by the U.S. EPA and is routinely employed to determine heavy metal concentrations (RCRA metals) in soils and sediments. In addition to soils, the NEX CG II analyzer may used with the Rigaku Ultra Carry technique to quantify trace metals in aqueous (water) samples down to part-per-billion levels. Rigaku's technology and know-how provide a number of unique solutions for environmental determinations.The Rigaku NEX CG II is powered by a powerful qualitative and quantitative analytical software, RPF-SQX, that allows semi-quantitative analysis of almost all sample types without standards — and rigorous quantitative analysis with standards. The software can automatically estimate the concentration of unobserved low atomic number elements (H to F) and provide appropriate corrections. RPF-SQX greatly reduces the number of required standards, for a given level of calibration fit, as compared to conventional XRF analytical software.
With the Rigaku Ultra Carry, you can use your Rigaku NEX CG II spectrometer to quantify trace elements in aqueous liquids down to parts-per-billion (ppb) concentration levels. Routine elemental analysis of contaminated water or industrial wastewater can now be performed without the wet labs associated with Atomic Absorption (AA) or Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) instruments. Ultra Carry based trace element analysis is suitable for use by non-technical personnel.
