Introduction to Shimadzu High Performance X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer EDX-7000/8000 Instrument

Product Name: Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Analyzer EDX-7000/8000 (High Performance SDD Detector)

Product Introduction:

Meet different applications in all fields

Unparalleled analytical performance

Adopting high-performance SDD detectors to ensure hardware optimization, with unprecedented high sensitivity, high-speed analysis, and high resolution. The EDX-8000 model, capable of detecting 6C~, has officially been launched.

High sensitivity - increase the detection limit by 1.5 to 5 times-

The combination of high-performance SDD detector, optimized optical system, and primary filter achieves unprecedented high sensitivity.

From light elements to heavy elements, easily handle the entire range. Compared with analysis devices using traditional Si (Li) semiconductor detectors, the sensitivity is also superior.

High speed - analysis speed can be increased up to 10 times-

The SDD detector has a high counting rate of X-ray fluorescence per unit time, allowing for high-precision analysis in a shorter detection time. Especially in the analysis of metal materials, this characteristic can be maximized.

X-ray fluorescence analysis can improve accuracy (reproducibility) by increasing the counting of X-ray fluorescence by prolonging the measurement time.

The EDX-7000/8000 equipped with a high counting rate SDD detector can ensure analysis accuracy in a shorter time compared to previous models.

high resolution

Compared to models equipped with previous Si (Li) semiconductor detectors, the energy resolution is superior.

The impact of overlapping peak values of different elements is reduced, improving reliability.

No need for liquid nitrogen

The SDD detector is electronically cooled and does not require liquid nitrogen cooling. Not only can it free itself from the tedious task of supplementing liquid nitrogen, but it can also reduce the maintenance cost of the instrument.

Range of detection elements

When using EDX-7000 for light element analysis below 15P, a vacuum detection unit or helium displacement detection unit (both are optional) is required.

When using EDX-8000 for light element analysis below 15P, a vacuum detection unit (optional) is required.

EDX-8000 performs ultra light element analysis

The SDD detector window equipped on the EDX-8000 is made of extremely thin film special materials, which can detect ultra light elements such as carbon (C), oxygen (O), and fluorine (F).

Excellent universality

From small samples to large samples, from powder samples to liquid samples, flexibly respond to various types of samples.

Equipped with vacuum detection unit and helium displacement detection unit required for high-sensitivity analysis of light elements, as well as a 12 position sample turntable (optional) that can achieve automatic continuous measurement.

Four types of collimators and CCD sample observation devices

1. Automatic switching of 4 types of collimators with diameters of 3, 5, and 10mm

According to the different sample sizes, there are four different options for the irradiation diameter.

When analyzing small foreign objects and failure analysis, 1mm diameter is used. For small samples, 3mm diameter or 5mm diameter is used. The most suitable irradiation diameter can be selected according to the shape of the sample.

Select 1mm Φ collimator

Standard CCD sample observation device

The X-ray irradiation position can be confirmed through the sample observation device.

Suitable for detecting small samples, samples composed of multiple measuring points, and using micro sample containers for detection.

When selecting a 5mm Φ collimator,

Use micro sample containers

Automatically switch between 5 types of primary filters

Using a filter once reduces the characteristic X-rays and continuous X-rays generated by the X-ray tube, thereby improving detection sensitivity. Especially effective in analyzing trace elements.

The EDX-7000/8000 is equipped with 5 types (including 6 types of OPEN) of primary filters, which can be automatically switched through software control.

*After using the filter, the background of the energy range in () decreases.

Free combination of collimator and primary filter

The collimator and primary filter are independently driven and can be freely combined without restrictions. You can choose 24 combinations from 6 x 4.

Meanwhile, all combinations can be quantitatively analyzed using the FP method.

A well-designed appearance

460mm wide compact body, equipped with a large capacity sample chamber

A compact body with a width of 460mm, reducing the size by 20% compared to our previous models.

However, the compact body has a large sample chamber that can hold up to 200 (W) x 275 (D) x approximately 100 (H) mm samples.

Highly recognizable LED display light

When X-rays are generated, the X-ray display light behind the analyzer and the X-RAYS ON display light in front will light up. During analysis, blue lights are lit on both sides of the X-ray display lamp. The operator can still have a clear understanding of the status of the analytical instrument even when they are not present at the analysis site.

PCEDX Navi, a software that can be easily used for "first meeting"

In order to make X-ray fluorescence analysis closer to every laboratory, the software PCEDX Navi, which is easy to understand, has emerged.

The intuitive and simple interface allows every user, from beginners to experts, to experience a convenient operating environment.

Concise interface

In one interface, sample images can be displayed, analysis conditions can be selected, and sample names can be entered simultaneously. On the measurement interface, the collimator can be directly switched

You can switch the collimator diameter while observing the sample image.

Meanwhile, the selected diameter is indicated by a yellow circle.

Automatically save sample images

Automatically read the sample image at the beginning of the measurement and save it in association with the data folder.

After the measurement is completed, along with the sample screen, the element name, concentration, and 3 δ (standard deviation of the measurement) will be clearly displayed on the same interface. With a simple click of the mouse, you can see the 'Summary of Analysis Results' or' Report '.
