Software update extends this XRF analyzer’s capabilities
This company’s Phoenix II XRF analyzer (photo), a polarized energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) benchtop analyzer, now includes updated software. The analyzer is ideal for quantitative and qualitative elemental analysis in production, laboratory and quality-control applications. The new software features include enhanced data management, improved statistical calculation methodologies and a range of productivity enablers. These include archived data compatibility with laboratory information management systems (LIMS), Excel and others. New statistical-analysis options also allow a single sample to be run multiple times and to generate an analysis of the spectra along with metrics on noise levels and peak-shape position reproducibility. The system features an intuitive touchscreen display to simplify operation. — Ametek Process Instruments, St. Cloud, Minn.
