X-ray fluorescence spectrometers use high-energy X-rays (or gamma rays) to excite fluorescent radiation from a sample for quantitative chemical or elemental analysis and have many industrial and research applications. Elements with an excitation energy less than the x-ray beam fluoresce and can be counted by a wavelength-dispersive or energy-dispersive spectrometer. The advantages of X-ray fluorescence spectrometers are that there is no need for sample prep (the material can simply be placed in the beam), and that it is a non-destructive analysis technique. This is ideal for fields like archeology, where destructive analytical methods are not an option. X-ray spectrometers are also gaining importance in response to increasing demand for lead testing in consumer products. Speed and sensitivity are prime considerations in choosing an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. Ease of use and good analytical software are also important.

The ZSX Primus III NEXT provides rapid elemental analysis with the ability to rapidly quantify major and trace elements (Be to Cm). Its’ high-throughput, excellent sensitivity and affordable price point make it an ideal solution for industrial applications.
Tube-Above Optics
The system features Rigaku’s unique tube-above optical configuration which prevents dust and particles from contaminating optical components and distorting readings as well as minimizing maintenance and maximizing uptime. This makes it ideal for the analysis of pressed powder samples. Furthermore, using wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) provides superior spectral resolution to energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF).
Improved Quality of Analytical results
The ZSX Primus III NEXT features a number of key upgrades from its predecessor resulting in improved results and high throughput levels. These include: - The incorporation of a digital multi-channel analyzer (D-MCA) and the efficient control of each driving unit to improve the quantitative analysis throughput by 21%.
- A S-PC LE, an environmentally friendly gas-shielded proportional detector for light elements. The S-PC LE negates the need to install a detector gas cylinder
- Powerful ZSX Guidance software, common to Rigaku’s flagship WDXRF spectrometers enabling data sharing and including scheduler function to automate and streamline operations
