Shimadzu - EDX Series
X-ray Instruments
Equipped with new, specialized filters, and enabling analysis at parts-per-million (ppm) levels without pretreatment, the bench-top EDX series enables both trace and rapid analysis that goes beyond the limits of screening analysis.
The three models in the EDX Series share a common chamber and software platform, with the EDX-720 as the base model. The EDX-800 has been upgraded to include an ultra thin polymer window detector to allow increased detection of low atomic number elements; elements from C to U are detectable.

Features of EDX Series
Large Sample Compartment Equipped with an automatic opening/closing door, the chamber can accommodate samples up to 300 mm wide and 150 mm high. This allows samples to be measured without breaking them into pieces.
Combine with the optional sample turrets for fully automatic measurement at the touch of a button.
Specialized Filters The EDX is equipped with five types of filters that greatly improve detection sensitivity that reduce and eliminate: –Background --Characteristic lines --Other forms of scattered radiation
As a whole, the filters improve the detection sensitivity of lead, mercury, cadmium, and other elements.
High-Count-Rate Circuit The adoption of a modified counting system significantly reduces your overall analysis time. The circuit provides a count rate more than twice that of previous models, reducing analysis time by attaining the same level of precision and sensitivity in half the time required previously.
CCD Camera Install a CCD camera to allow accurate and repeatable measurements in one spot. Position to a specific position for measurement of: –Foreign matter or samples made up of multiple parts --Chemical analysis of mechanical and electrical small parts --Particle analysis in food, plastics
