Rapid Qualitative & Quantitative Elemental Analysis
Among Rigaku's line of high-value benchtop EDXRF systems, the NEX QC Series analyzers combine superior performance capabilities with affordability. Designed for rapid qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis, non-destructively analyze elements sodium through uranium in a broad range of applications. From homogenous liquids of any viscosity to solids, thin films, alloys, slurries, powders, and pastes — NEX QC Series analyzers are ideal for routine quality control. The 50 kV X-ray tube and solid state detectors offer exceptional spectral resolution and throughput. The high voltage capability, along with multiple automated tube filters, provides enhanced sensitivity and low limits of detection. Additionally, the intuitive touchscreen interface and built-in printer make these instruments easy to use and convenient. They are available in either a NEX QC or NEX QC+ model for more demanding applications, or for situations where analysis time is critical. The NEX QC+ gives significant improvements in elemental peak resolution and counting statistics, resulting in superior calibrations and precision for the most challenging measurements.

Elemental Analysis of Portland Cement & Cementatious Materials by EDXRF / XRF - Construction & Construction Materials - Cement
Modern Portland cement is made by mixing substances containing lime, silica, alumina, and iron oxide and then heating the mixture until it almost fuses. During the heating process dicalcium and tricalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate, and a solid solution containing iron are formed. X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), a standard technique across the cement industry, is used to determine metal-oxide concentrations and oxide stoichiometry. The Rigaku NEX CG advanced Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer, ...

Elemental Analysis for Metals & Alloys by EDXRF / XRF - Metal
Metal alloys are materials made of two or more metals, or of a metal and another material; therefore, mechanical properties like hardness and strength are attributed to a precise composition or stoichiometry. Chemical analysis is typically used as a basis for classifying metal and alloys, controlling their production processes, or verifying their designation. Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) is a routine used to identify and classify metals and alloys. Foundries, smelters, and mills, as well as other ...

Multi-element Analysis of Coating Thickness & Composition by EDXRF / XRF - Metal - Metal Finishing
Metallizing is the general name for the technique of coating metal on the surface of objects. Metallic coatings may be decorative, protective or functional. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) provide rapid analysis of the thickness and composition of single- or multi-element coatings like hot dipped, electroplated, sputtered, ion plated, thermal spray, plasma spray and other conversion coatings. Coating materials must be applied in certain thickness specifications in order to express the desired ...

Elemental Analysis for Mining & Refining by EDXRF / XRF - Mining
Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth, usually from an ore body, vein or (coal) seam. Materials recovered by mining include base metals, precious metals, iron, uranium, coal, diamonds, limestone, oil shale, rock salt and potash. Whether the determination entails measurement of ores, feed, slags, or tailings in the mining process, X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy is one of the most commonly employed technique for these routine determinations of metal bearing ...
