ALTRACE Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer
Manufacturer: Shimadzu
SKU: ALTRACE
Description
Shimadzu's ALTRACE is an energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer configured for elemental analysis across a broad range of materials. The system utilizes a rhodium-target X-ray tube and a silicon drift detector (SDD) that operates without liquid nitrogen. This design facilitates the detection of elements from sodium to uranium. It is applicable for analyzing pharmaceuticals, food products, electronic components, petrochemicals, chemicals, and soil, capable of measuring concentrations from percentage levels down to sub-parts per million in many cases. The instrument incorporates multiple primary filters, selectable via software, to optimize excitation conditions and improve signal-to-noise ratios for different analytical requirements. An optional autosampler can process up to 48 samples in sequence, accommodating solids, powders, pellets, and liquid samples including aqueous solutions and organic solvents. The associated software provides tools for calibration, data management, and report generation.
