Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer.

ARL QUANT’X EDXRF

Advantages The ARL QUANT’X is a versatile energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence
(EDXRF) bench top spectrometer. It allows non-destructive elemental analysis
• F - U, ppm to %
of solids, powders and liquids. EDXRF allows for analysis with little or no
• Air, vacuum and helium sample preparation and covers concentrations from the lower ppm to 100%.

• Camera + small spot analysis

With the option to perform the analysis in air, vacuum or helium; optimal
• UniQuant Standard-less results are always within reach. Several sample changer options, small spot
FP analysis collimators, spinner or camera and an intuitive software with multi-language
support add to the convenience of use.

Applications The optional UniQuant FP based standard-less quantification software fully

Forensics and Investigation, unlocks the capabilities of this spectrometer. Whatever the type of application –
RoHS and WEEE Screening, industrial, environmental, research or educational – the ARL QUANT’X is cost-
Oils, Lubricants and Wear Metals effective and the stand-alone analytical tool that every lab can depend on.
