GeneGnome imaging system

Rigaku introduced a new benchtop Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer, the Rigaku NEX CG, at the Fall 2009 American Chemical Society (ACS) national meeting in Washington, D.C. The NEX CG spectrometer delivers rapid qualitative and quantitative determination of major and minor
atomic elements in a wide variety of sample types with minimal standards. The new Rigaku NEX CG can non-destructively analyse elements from 11Na to 92U in solids, liquids, powders and thin films. Employing polarised excitation for lower detection limits and unique software for reduced standards’ requirements,
the instrument provides part-per-billion (ppb) level detection limits for aqueous samples when used with the patented UltraCarry sample
holder. A simplified user interface, EZ Analysis, allows for routine operation by non-technical personnel.
