acquired by an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) fluorescence spectrometer and a Fourier In addition, if data for a sample were acquired by instruments other than EDX and FTIR instruments (such as a chromatograph, mass spectrometer,
transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer. or surface observation system), it can be converted into PDF format and then registered, enabling linked storage to the EDX/FTIR data.
This software is used to perform an integrated analysis of data from FTIR, which is
excellent at the identification and qualification of organic compounds, and from EDX,
which is excellent at the elementary analysis of metals, inorganic compounds and other
content. It then pursues identification results and the degree of matching. It can also be
used to perform EDX or FTIR data analysis on its own.
The library used for data analysis (containing 485 data as standard) is original to
Shimadzu, and was created through cooperation with water supply agencies and food
manufacturers. Additional data can be registered to the library, as can image files and
document files in PDF format. It is also effective for the linked storage of various types Photographs, Document Files,

The examples here show an integrated analysis of black rubber contaminant data acquired and a data comparison for a polyvinyl

chloride (PVC) examination object and the standard product. From the integrated data analysis results, it is evident that the black rubber Sample Holder/Stocker for Contaminant Measurement EDXIR-Holder (Option)
contaminant is acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), which contains calcium carbonate and zinc stearate. In addition, from the data comparison,
the degree of matching between the PVC examination object and the standard product is 0.8506. Lead (Pb) and acrylic were detected from
the EDX and FTIR data, but were not detected in the standard product. Accordingly, it is surmised that the examination object contains Measure the Samples Kept in the Holder with EDX and FTIR

Enables More Efficient Analyses

This foldable holder consists of an adhesive layer with samples attached and polypropylene film designed for a fluorescence X-ray. When using
EDX for measurement, close the holder and place the polypropylene film directly to the irradiation side (downside). When using FTIR for
EDX Data FTIR Data measurement, open the holder and press the samples attached to the adhesive layer against the ATR prism. This enables the replacement of
EDX-8100 FTIR+Single Re ection ATR Accessory samples, at a minimum, saving on labor and making analysis more efficient.

so there is no danger of losing samples.
