NEX QC Series EDXRF analyzer

Rigaku, the world’s leading manufacturer of analytical X-ray instruments offers the NEX QC series compact, cost-effective solutions for elemental analysis needs. Rigaku NEX QC EDXRF Analyzer is designed for routine quality control applications. Affordable NEX QC series energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analyzer delivers rapid qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis. Non-destructively analyze sodium through uranium in a wide variety of sample types.

EDXRF technology delivers routine elemental measurements across a diverse range of matrices from homogenous liquids of any viscosity to solids metals and alloys coatings and thin films as well as slurries powders and pastes.

A 50 kV X-ray tube and Peltier-cooled solid-state detector deliver exceptional short-term repeatability and long-term reproducibility with excellent element peak resolution. The high voltage capability, along with multiple automated tube filters, provides multi-element analysis capability for unmatched performance and low limits of detection (LOD).

NEX QC Series analyzers are remarkably easy to use.

With the NEX QC series, empirical calibration curves can be linear quadratic or hyperbolic fit in addition to compensate for the presence of other elements. Alpha corrections may be enabled and are automatically calculated. C/H correction is also available to compensate for the light element matrix changes in the oil.

All calibration functions are accessible via intuitive icons and with the touch of a finger. The live spectral display is available during data acquisition.

Easy-to-use touchscreen interface coupled with a powerful embedded computer lowers the cost of ownership because it simplifies operator training and reduces the potential for operator error. 

Routine operation is as simple as selecting the measurement application, loading the sample, entering id and pressing start using the touchscreen display.

Results are displayed upon analysis completion and may be outputted to a built-in thermal printer and stored as a Pdf file or via ethernet to the LIMS system.

THE NEX QC series EDXRF analyzers are available in two variations

• Low-cost NEX QC 
• High-resolution NEX QC+  

Both instruments employ a 50 000 volt x-ray tube and electrically cooled semiconductor detector technology to deliver exceptional short-term repeatability and long-term reproducibility with excellent element peak resolution.

The enhanced Nex QC Plus has significant improvements in elemental peak resolution and counting statistics, resulting in superior calibrations and precision for the most challenging measurements. NEX QC Plus spectrometer, employing the next-generation silicon detector technology.
