The Rigaku Supermini reportedly delivers rapid, high-sensitivity, nondestructive analysis of elements from fluorine through uranium in solids, liquids, powders and thin films.

Rigaku Americas Corp. recently announced the introduction of its new high-power benchtop wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometer system, the Rigaku Supermini. Delivering rapid, high-sensitivity, nondestructive analysis of elements from fluorine through uranium in solids, liquids, powders and thin films, the new system offers performance and value in a compact package.

The Rigaku Supermini can be used to certify compliance with RoHS/WEEE and ELV directives, and the system affords high-precision analysis at the low concentration levels common to today’s applications. The unit is offered as a compact sequential WDXRF that is both a cost-effective and high-precision/high-resolution alternative to energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence technology.

This benchtop unit employs three analyzing crystals; two detectors; a 12-position sample changer; and a choice of analysis in an air, vacuum or helium atmosphere. An air-cooled 50 kV, 200 W tube provides light element performance and does not require external cooling.
