Rigaku Supermini XRF

The Rigaku Supermini utilises wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (WDXRF) to analyse complex materials with a wide range of light and heavy elements from trace to high concentration levels. A high powered (200 W) X-ray tube delivers high XRF sensitivity for light elements with superior spectral resolution for resolving line overlaps in complex matrices without the need for complicated mathematical peak deconvolution. Therefore, analysis of low concentration levels of light elements (F, Na, Mg, Ca, Si, Al, and P) becomes easy. The Supermini employs a scintillation counter (SC) for heavy elements and a gas-flow proportional counter (F-PC) for light elements. This ensures high-sensitivity and high-speed counting. Samples can be added or removed from the 12-position automatic sample exchanger during measurement. Thus, the time for sample loading is minimal.
