Integrated vacuum benchtop EDXRF for rapid, non-destructive Mg-to-U elemental analysis with Fast-SDD detection and application-specific calibration.
The ElementX B1 is an integrated vacuum benchtop energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer for qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis. Its vacuum optical path improves measurement conditions for lighter elements within the configured Mg-to-U range.
The platform combines a 50 kV tungsten-target X-ray tube, Fast-SDD detector, 6 mm measurement aperture, autofocus sample camera, integrated touchscreen computer, vacuum chamber, precision pump, and analytical software. Quantitative performance depends on sample preparation, matrix, installed calibration, and suitable reference materials.
A controlled primary X-ray beam excites atoms in the sample. Each element emits characteristic fluorescent X-rays, which are separated by energy and measured by the Fast-SDD detector. The software converts the spectrum into qualitative identifications or quantitative concentrations using Fundamental Parameters, empirical coefficients, or working curves. Evacuating the chamber reduces air absorption and improves sensitivity for lighter elements.
Practical requirements for laboratory installation, representative sample preparation, calibration strategy, vacuum operation, data management, maintenance, and radiation-safe use.
The ElementX B1 integrates the X-ray source, detector, pulse electronics, vacuum chamber, computer, touchscreen, camera, and analytical software in one laboratory platform.
Sample preparation and geometry directly control quantitative XRF quality and should be selected for the material and analytical objective.
Install the system in a clean, dry, vibration-controlled laboratory with suitable ventilation, service space, grounded power, and secure vacuum connections.
The software supports method configuration, spectrum interpretation, result review, reports, history, reference spectra, and data maintenance.
Reliable quantitative results require stable instrument conditions, suitable reference materials, representative preparation, and a validated calibration model.
Routine care focuses on chamber cleanliness, interlocks, vacuum integrity, sample stage, camera, exterior surfaces, pump, and software records.
The ElementX B1 generates ionising radiation only when the X-ray tube is energized and must be operated under applicable radiation-control requirements.
Sample preparation is not universally minimal: Non-destructive measurement can require little preparation for suitable flat homogeneous solids, but quantitative powders, ores, cement, slag, soils, and other heterogeneous materials often require controlled grinding, homogenization, pressing, fusion, or replicate sampling.
Range interpretation: The published Mg-to-U and 1 ppm-to-99.99% platform statements describe broad capability, not guaranteed performance for every element and matrix. The delivered application mode, calibration, factory test report, and validation data govern.
Delivered configuration: The serial-number-specific packing list, software build, installed modes, factory test report, and certificates override generic website descriptions.
