HANDHELD DETECTORS (Si-PIN / SDD) CGX-104

Product Details

HANDHELD DETECTORS (Si-PIN / SDD) CGX-104XRF is used to detect and analyze noble metals like Gold ( Au), Silver (Ag), Platinum (Pt),Iridium (Ir), Osmium (Os), Palladium (Pd), Rhodium (Rh), Ruthenium (Ru), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Nickel (Ni), Cadmium (Cd), Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co), Indium (In), Tin (Sn), in theJewellery Industry.Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) technique relies on the detector and thedetection circuit capability to resolve spectral peaks due to different energy X-Rays emittedwhen a primary X-Ray beam strikes a metal alloy corresponding to different elements in thesample, intensity of the spectrum radiation proportional to the concentration of element.The spectrum is then processed through the powerful computer software which calculatesand reports the various elements & their composition in the sample. XRF Gold Purity Tester consists of X-Ray tube, high voltage power supply for X-Ray source,X-Ray tube filters, X-Ray fluorescence Detector, processing electronics and system interface& an external computer. A camera is incorporated in the system to view the sample on thecomputer screen. Handheld X-ray analyzer works on a rechargeable 7.2V Li-ion battery with a backupperiod of 8 hours under normal use. XRF analyzer has a detectable range from Ti to U.CGX-104 operates under control of the HP iPAQ PDA with 4 inch high resolutiontouch-screen display. The optional lab stand allows using of handheld analyzer as atabletop instrument under PC or laptop control.Specifications :X-ray tube : Tungsten anode, 40 kV , 100 µA with 5 filter positionsDetector type : solid state Si-pin-diode with thermo-electrical cooling (optional SDD)Active area : 6 mm2 Energy resolution : <165 eV at 5.9 keV (<140 eV for SDD)Display : High resolution 4 inch color touch-screenSupported operating systems : Windows CE/Mobile for PDA   Windows XP/Vista/7 for PCBattery Operation Time : Up to 8 hoursDimensions : 242 mm (L) x 78 mm (W) x 230 mm (H)Weight (with battery) : 1230 g (1440 g)XRF is a reference technique, hence standards are required for quantitative results. Standards are analyzed, spectral intensities generated are used to obtain a intensity v/s concentration plot for calibration. This calibration is used to evaluate the spectral intensities of unknown samples.How to get best results from XRF Spectrometer : XRF is a reference method, proper standardization of the equipment is required for accurate results.  In order to get most appropriate results, testing at different points is necessary especially when the jewellery design is intricate.  Adequate warm up period, sturdy working surface, stable power supply, proper grounding and conditioned atmosphere is required to achieve the best product performance. For powder sample, proper grinding of sample minimizes scattering effect. For solid sample, surface polishing minimizes the scattering effect. Flat surface of the sample yields the best results. Due to different melting points, atomic structure and crafting techniques, not all the elements can be melted with noble metals.
