Elemental Analysis by WDXRF

Elemental Analysis by WDXRF

The department of Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE) offers elemental analysis using sequential X-Ray fluorescence spectrometer lab center XRF-1800 (Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF)) from Shimadzu which delivers exceptional reliability, stability, and sensitivity. With complete control, analysis and reporting software, the XRF-1800 is a powerful tool for applications in a wide range of industries. 

                                  

Sample of mapping 

World first 250µm Mapping for wavelength dispersive analysis. This enables us to analyze content distribution and intensity distribution of non-uniform samples. 

High-order x-ray peak decision 

System can switch first-order profile to high-order profile display. Users can do a more accurate evaluation of higher-order peak interference. 

Film thickness measurement with the background FP method 

The system can calculate theoretical scattering x-ray intensity by original background-FP method. Inorganic component or polymer thickness can be estimated by this calculation method. 

Local analysis 

The analysis position and image can be superimposed by importing an image after positioning the sample holder at the analysis chamber insertion position in the same way as at the sample analysis position. 

Reliable x-ray tube 

4 kW thin-window X-ray tube for high reliability and long life. Compared with conventional 3 kW tube, more than double of sensitivity is achieved in light elements
