Technical specifications

Unparalleled Sensitivity that Goes Beyond Typical Measurement Needs

  • The combination of optical system that optimally arranges high-power X-ray tube and high-sensitivity detector, and high-speed signal processing has achieved high detection efficiency.
    In the analysis of aqueous solution samples, the detection limit for all elements have been improved compared to the conventional equipment (EDX-7200).
    It can be used effectively for the analysis of low-concentration samples and the automatic analysis of multiple samples requiring shorter measurement time.

 

Escape from Complicated Pretreatment

Liquids and powders can be directly measured by simply placing them as is in the sample cell. EDX is a non-destructive technique; therefore, the same sample can be measured for both simple screening and precision analysis. To date, previous EDX systems could not measure concentrations on the order of 0.1 ppm. With ALTRACE, this level is now detectable. It is now possible to obtain sub-ppm level detection, without the need for chemical pretreatment.

 

Simple Screening in Combination with Precision Analysis

When performing quantitative analysis by specifying elements, once a calibration curve is created, there is no need to recreate the calibration curve for each measurement.
In addition, ALTRACE is suitable for simple screening analysis, since qualitative and quantitative analysis using the fundamental-parameter (FP) method can be performed without specifying elements

 

High Throughput and Efficiency

Automatic Consecutive Analyses of Up to 48 Samples

710mm wide main body is equipped with a multi-sample changer. The tray drawer system allows for safe sample replacement without having to access the inside of the instrument.
