X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer

Phillips PW2420The CAIS maintains a Phillips (Panalytical) PW2420 wavelength-dispersive XRF spectrometer purchased new in 2002. The instrument has a total power of 2.4 kW and a 170 position robotic multisampler. A variety of flow and scintillation detectors, collimators, and beam filters, coupled with an array of crystals (LIF200; LIF220; GE111; PE002; and PX1) allow accurate analysis of a wide range of materials. A sample spinner reduces effects of sample surface inhomogeneity. The unit can be run in quantitative (Super Q) or standardless (IQ+) mode, and includes the new generation of Protrace™ software capable of sub-ppm detection limits. We can also analyse water samples at ppb levels via the new UltraCarry™ filter substrate from Rigaku.
