Description

XRF is an ideal method of determining the chemical composition in a variety of materials. For low volume or difficult samples our XRF system has a Claisse LeNeo fusion instrument to prepare samples in glass disks for XRF analysis. Measurements are carried out directly on the material (solid or liquid), with minimal sample preparation required. There is no need for dilution or sample digestion prior to analysis. The Epsilon 4 XRF can handle a wide variety of sample types, such as:

Solids
Pressed powders
Loose powders
Liquids
Fused beads
Slurries
Granules
Filters
Films and coatings

Specification

10 position autosampler for high-throughput screening of samples
Can detect elements from Na – Am
