Reliable, Low Cost XRF by Design

X-ray fluorescence analysis systems are workhorses in today’s petroleum laboratories due to ease of sample prep, wide elemental analysis range and precise results. Maintaining such instruments can be costly, however, particularly when complications arise from handling a broad range of liquid samples from volatile to highly viscous. Important factors to gauge the operating cost and reliability of X-ray systems include helium
consumption, adequate cooling system, and X-ray tube and crystal stability and lifespan.

Thermo Scientific ARL OPTIM’X and ARL ADVANT’X Series WDXRF spectrometer systems are designed with reliability in mind. Novel and patented designs from over 50 years of experience provide X-ray analysis solutions with the highest reliability and lowest cost of ownership. If your lab is concerned about high instrument maintenance costs in today’s low-cost environment — including X-ray tube damage or replacement, helium usage and cooling system cost — or troubled by reduced analytical performance over time, contact us at analyze.ch@thermo.com to learn more about XRF design solutions that reduce daily costs without sacrificing results.
