Elemental Analysis for Mining & Refining by EDXRF / XRF - Mining

EDXRF, a primary type of X-ray fluorescence (XRF), provides quick, multi-element analysis in a wide range of matrices, even in the most challenging sample types. EDXRF systems are easy to use and offer a low cost of ownership. These advantages make Rigaku EDXRF products a reliable choice for many applications.

Minimized Standards with RPF-SQX Analytical Software
The Rigaku NEX CG II energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer is powered by qualitative and quantitative analytical software, RPF-SQX, that features Rigaku Profile Fitting (RPF) technology. The software allows semi-quantitative analysis of almost all sample types without standards — and rigorous quantitative analysis with a few standards. Featuring Rigaku's famous Scatter FP method, this XRF software can automatically estimate the concentration of unobserved low atomic number elements (H to F) and provide appropriate corrections.

RPF-SQX greatly reduces the number of required standards for a given level of calibration fit as compared to conventional EDXRF / XRF analytical software. As standards are expensive and can be difficult to obtain for newly developed materials, the utility of having a NEX CG II spectrometer can significantly lower costs and reduce workload requirements for routine elemental analysis needs.
