Applied Rigaku Technologies, Inc., a division of Rigaku Corporation, is pleased to
announce the global introduction of the new Rigaku NEX OL on-line process
elemental analyzer at the 64th annual Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical
Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy (Pittcon 2013) held March 17 - 21, 2013 at
the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, PA, USA. ART will also
introduce a new compact benchtop energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF)
analyzer, the Rigaku NEX QC+, at PittCon booth #1825.
Featuring advanced third generation EDXRF technology, the Rigaku NEX OL
represents the next evolution of process elemental analysis for liquid stream and
fixed position web or coil applications. Designed to span from heavy industrial
through to food grade process gauging solutions, the Rigaku NEX OL is
configurable for use in both classified and non-classified areas.
To deliver superior analytical performance and reliability, the EDXRF measuring
head assembly was derived from the established Rigaku NEX QC series of
benchtop instruments. With this proven technology, the Rigaku NEX OL delivers
rapid, non-destructive, multi-element analyses – from parts-per-million (ppm)
levels to high weight percent (wt%) concentrations – for elements from aluminum
(13Al) through uranium (92U). Equipped with a 50 kV X-ray tube and SDD
detector – together with a standardized, optimized suite of tube filters – the
Rigaku NEX OL is engineered to solve a broad range of process control
applications.
For the elemental analysis of liquid streams, an analyzing head is mated to a
unique toolless flow cell assembly incorporating the X-ray window, which
contains the liquid stream but is transparent to X-rays. It is typically a plastic
film. In addition to analyzing liquid streams, the Rigaku NEX OL is designed to
service web and coil applications, with the ability to perform multi-element
composition and/or coating thickness. Typically a head is mounted in a fixed
position over a roller so that the head to surface distance is constant.
