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 combination of WD and ED core and advanced technologies delivers analytical excellence in every situation, from R&D labs to high-throughput production. The Ultimate edition is pre-configured to give unrivaled sensitivity across the periodic table with thin-window, high-power X-ray tube technology, curved crystals and unique detector technology, saving time and increasing throughput in busy laboratories. The Ultimate edition also comes standard with Omnian, our market-leading standardless analysis module, for the qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis of unknowns or materials where calibration samples are not readily available. Other significant advantages combined WD and ED are reduced analytical times, identification of unexpected elements and spectrum archiving. The option for small spot analysis and mapping option using the ED core allows time-efficient data acquisition. The entire spectrum measured by the ED core at every spot reduces measurement times and allows for standardless quantitative data capture.
