X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometers (XRF) use high energy X-rays (or gamma rays) to excite fluorescent radiation or photons from a sample for elemental analysis. In wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (WDXRF), photons emitted by the sample are separated or dispersed by diffraction before hitting the detector. This is accomplished by placing an analyzing crystal between the sample and the detector. Therefore, WDXRF spectrometers have better resolution than energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometers which do not contain an analyzing crystal. However, due to the increase in optical components, WDXRF spectrometers typical have a lower efficiency than EDXRF spectrometers and, hence, require a higher power x-ray tube (which can add to the cost of the instrument).
There are two types of WDXRF spectrometers: simultaneous and sequential. In simultaneous WDXRF spectrometers, multiple detectors placed at different angles are used to analyze multiple elements simultaneously. In sequential WDXRF Spectrometers, the crystal is turned while elements are analyzed sequentially. Sequential WDXRF spectrometers typically have better intensity, but take longer to record measurements. WDXRF is a nondestructive technique and has applications in many industries where elemental analysis is needed, such as geoscience, environmental analysis, food safety, and analyzing archeological artifacts.

Description | The Zetium Ultimate edition XRF spectrometer is the most advanced configuration in the Zetium family. 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 toThe Zetium Ultimate edition XRF spectrometer is the most advanced configuration in the Zetium family. 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.
