NEX OL

Analyze from aluminum (₁₃Al) to uranium (₉₂U)

To deliver superior analytical performance and reliability, the EDXRF measuring head assembly was derived from the established Rigaku NEX QC+ high resolution benchtop instrument. With this proven technology, the Rigaku NEX OL delivers rapid, non-destructive, multi-element analyses – from parts-per-million (ppm) levels to high weight percent (wt%) concentrations – for elements from aluminum through uranium. Equipped with a 50 kV X-ray tube and SDD detector – together with a standardized, optimized suite of tube filters – the Rigaku NEX OL is engineered to solve a broad range of process control applications.

Unique tool-less flow cell design

For the elemental analysis of liquid streams, an analyzing head is mated to a unique tool-less flow cell assembly incorporating the X-ray window. The X-ray window contains the liquid stream but is transparent to X-rays; it is typically a plastic film.

Coating thickness and composition

In addition to analyzing liquid streams, the Rigaku NEX OL is designed to service web and coil applications, with the ability to perform multi-element composition and/or coating thickness. Typically a head is mounted in a fixed position over a roller so that the head to surface distance is constant.
