ARL QUANT’X ED X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer

The ARL QUANT'X Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer allows users to quickly and easily collect composition data from almost any type of sample. It measures a variety of materials, including bulk solids, granules, weak or crushed powders, fused beads, thin films, pastes, and liquids, for major, minor, and trace element counts.

With standardless software and accessories, this comprehensive benchtop EDXRF (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence) system fulfills the elemental analysis requirements of main and contract laboratories, educational establishments, environmental sensing and chemicals, mining, forensics, food, cement, and metals industries.

For elemental analysis, the ARL QUANT'X EDXRF spectrometer offers the best possible combination of performance, adaptability, and dependability. Its close-coupled optics, tiny size, and advanced electrically cooled detectors allow for unparalleled analytical precision over a wide range of elemental concentrations, from ppm to %.

The ARL QUANT'X EDXRF is now even more powerful. The QUANT’X, which is equipped with the latest generation of high-efficiency SDD detectors, can handle high-count rates at excellent resolutions and delivers better performance from light to heavy elements.

Acorss the entire periodic table, the ARL QUANT'X increases accuracy and recognition limitations by a factor of two. The average counting time can also be optionally decreased by a factor of four, dramatically increasing sample throughput.

The SDD500G detector incorporates the latest advancements in detection technology, significantly enhancing the performance of the ARL QUANT’X spectrometer. It increases sensitivity for light elements such as fluorine and broadens the analytical range to include carbon.

A range of selectable reporting levels and formats clearly present the outcomes for any type of user.

All elements are always examined.

Each sample’s exclusive physical properties, i.e., area, height, and mass, are comprised in the calculation.

Long-term changes in X-ray tube output are rectified.

The optional UniQuant program collects all emission lines of all possible elements from fluorine to americium, heading beyond any other FP analysis (carbon to americium with SDD500G option). Thanks to the sample's comprehensive spectral profile, UniQuant can instantaneously rectify all possible overlap and background implications, which are particularly complex in energy-dispersive spectra.

UniQuant comes pre-calibrated and ready for use.
