Total reflection X-ray fluorescence

TXRF

TXRF Bruker S2 PICOFOX

Technical features

Target: Mo (50 kV, 600 μA, 30 W) microfocus

Elemental analysis from Mg to U

Analysis of small samples (milligrams or microliters) without using invasive sample preparation.

ppm detection limit for solid samples (prepared as suspensions) or ppb for liquid samples.

Nitrogen atmosphere available for Cd, Pd and Ag detection and quantification.

Applications

With this device we can perform a multielemental analysis on a large variety of samples both solid and liquid, either organic or inorganic. Due to the very small amount of sample required for the analysis, it is the most suitable technique for the characterizzation of biological fluids (i.e. blood, celomic fluids, xilem fluids, etc…), microsynthesis products, dusts, as well as atmospheric deposits and drugs.
