ARL™ OPTIM'X WDXRF Spectrometer

Categories: Elemental Analysis, WD XRF Spectrometers

The ARL OPTIM’X WDXRF Spectrometer analyses elements from carbon to uranium in a wide variety of samples with accuracy, precision and reliability. WDXRF is a standard test method for analytical laboratories (ASTM and ISO norms for example) by virtue of its simplicity, flexibility, affordability and reliability. The cost per analysis is clearly advantageous over many traditional wet chemical and other spectroscopic methods.

Advanced Technology

Innovative UCCO technology (Ultra Closely Coupled Optics) for increased intensity, up to 210% higher than conventional geometry
Unique compact SmartGonio device for sequential analysis
Optional Multichromators for faster analysis or better performance on selected elements
Optional OptiQuant package provides “standard-less” analysis for up to 73 elements when specific standards are not available, or when samples can only be obtained in small quantities or as irregular shapes

Description
