EDXRF portable spectrometr XL5

(Thermo)

is an instrument for a qualitative, semiquantitative and quantitative element analysis in the elemental  range Mg-U  and in a concentration range 0.01-100%, time 120s (chemical composition, shape and size of the sample are important).

XL5 can perform fast screening of present elements in concentration above 0.01% in time of 30s.

Measured spot is the circle with the diameter of 8mm, possibility to use mask with diameter of 3mm, worse detection limits and longer time.

Sample is measured in air and in principle may have whatever dimensions. It is possible to measure small samples( better not smaller than 3mm) or larger samples (X-ray safe are samples which fit in standard desk stand, Maxsize D19xW19xH11cm). Bigger saples can be measured if the safety rules are fulfilled.

XL5 is not able to perform sample analysis in the whole elemental range of Mg-U at the same time. It works with pre-prepared calibrations. XL5 detects and quantifies only the elements in calibrations. If the sample contains an element which is not in calibration (usually due to a poorly correctable overlap with elements in calibration), then this element is not detected. However, the presence of other elements in the sample can be verified by looking at the measured scans.

The spectrometer is equipped with calibrations General Metals (3,8mm), Precious Metals (3,8mm), Coating (8mm), Mining (3,8mm),  Plastics (8mm), Soils(8mm),.

Calibrations include the following elements:

General Metals: Mg, Al, Si, P, S,  Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Pd, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Au, Hg, Pb, Bi
