An XRF Instrument for Every Application
Like the XUL series, the XRF instrument spectrometer FISCHERSCOPEยฎ X-RAY XANยฎ are ideally suited for analyzing simply shaped samples. However, a great advantage of the XAN series lies in their high-quality semiconductor detectors. And X-ray fluorescence (XRF) allows you not only to measure the thickness of coatings but also to analyze the composition of alloys (e. g. copper).
In total, the XAN series comprises 5 bench-top XRF spectrometers that cover a wide range of applications. The XAN 215 has a cost-effective PIN detector. This XRF Instrument Itโs is ideal for simple coating thickness tasks, e.g. zinc on iron or Au/Ni/Cu. For more complex applications with alloys or precious metals, we recommend our XRF instruments devices with a silicon drift detector (e.g. the XAN 220): Due to its much higher resolution, it can reliably distinguish between gold and platinum. And when you need to detect traces of heavy metals and other hazardous substances, the XAN 250 is your solution.
Even More Powerful Thanks to DPP+ and Larger SDD
With the XAN 220, XAN 222, XAN 250 and XAN 252, you can now measure even more precisely and quickly. Like the GOLDSCOPE SD 520 and SD 550, the instruments are equipped with the latest digital pulse processor DPP+ โ completely developed in-house by Fischer. By using the new processor in conjunction with the also newly available, larger silicon drift detector (50 mmยฒ effective area), even more signals of the sample can be processed. This results in an excellent energy resolution. Your benefit: Shorten the measuring time up to 3 times or reduce the absolute standard deviation of the repeatability by up to 45 %.
