TX 2000
TXRF and EDXRF in one single equipment
The unique spectrometer that allows to perform Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis in both Total Reflection and Traditional (45 degrees) Geometry.
TX 2000 is the state of the art laboratory spectrometer for quantitative multi element trace analysis using principles of Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence (TXRF).
TXRF, based on the same principles of traditional X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), minimizes or totally eliminates matrix effect, allows simoultaneius multi-element ultra-trace analysis and pushes the instrumental detection limit down to ppb range from sodium to plutonium.
TX 2000, equipped with an automatic primary beam switching system (MoKa, WLa/Lb and bremsstrahlung 33 keV), a Silicon Drift Detector and an high power X-Ray Tube is the optimal solution for applications in environmentalm chemicals and nuclear fields.
TX 2000 Main Features
- TXRF and EDXRF (traditional 45° geometry) spectroscopy in the same equipment.
- Stepper motors with optical encoders ensure extremely precise angular values.
- Automatic switching of primary beam (MoKa, WLa/Lb and bremsstrahlung 33 keV) using double anode Mo/W X-ray tube, based on innovative software. We select the energy required using an high reflectivity 80% (WLa/Lb/MoKa) multilayer. We can choose also other X-ray tubes and monochromatise the energy that you need.
- Peltier-cooled Silicon Drift Detector with an energy resolution of 124eV FWHM@MnKa (shaping time 1 ms)
- Minimal distance between the sample and the detector (mounted to the axis normal to the plane of the sample).
- Instrumental detection limits for more than 50 elements below 10 pg.
- Helium device to improve the detection limits for the light elements.
- Excellent detection limits (ppt) for a wide range element
- No matrix effect
- Environmental Analysis: water, dust, sediments, aerosol
- Medicine: toxic elements in biological fluids and tissue samples
- Forensic Science: analysis of extremely small sample quantities
- Pure chemicals: acids, bases, salts, solvents, water, ultrapure reagents
- Oils and greases: crude oil, essential oil, fuel oil
- Pigments: ink, oil paints, powder
- Semiconductor Industry: by VPD (vaporphase decomposition)
- Nuclear Industry: measurements of radioactive elements
