■Analysis of plastic materials
In fields of chemistry that mainly handle samples
comprising of light elements as principal component,
energy dispersive X-ray fluorescense spectrometer is
effective analysis method, as it can achieve the sensitivity
and precision close to those of wavelength dispersion. In
particular, it makes it easier to do frequent measurement of
liquid sample, compared with wavelength dispersion. It is
also effective for analyzing catalysts and organic pellets for
which pressure formation is difficult.

•Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer EDX Series
Simple, non-destructive analysis of solids, powders, and liquids is possible without pretreatment.
[Main Applications]
Analysis of additives, acceptance inspection of raw materials, inspection of harmful elements, control of quantities of additives added in
processes, failure analysis, etc.

■Element mapping analysis
The 250-µm display allows easy data comparisons.
Analysis of the content distribution and intensity
distribution of nonuniform samples is possible.

•Sequential X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer XRF-1800
A high-resolution, high-precision, high-grade, general-purpose instrument. This can analyze light elements from beryllium to fluorine, that EDX
hardly can analyze. 250-µm mapping display is possible.
[Main Applications]
Analysis of additives, acceptance inspection of raw materials, control of quantities of additives added in processes, failure analysis, etc.
