Principles
The Rigaku ZSX Primus IV delivers rapid quantitative determination of major and minor atomic elements, from beryllium (Be) through uranium (U), in a wide variety of sample types (solids, liquids, powders, alloys, and thin films) with minimal standards.Capabilities
- Analysis of elements from Be to U.
- Tube above optics minimizes contamination issues.
- Micro analysis to analyze samples as small as 500 µm.
- 30μ tube delivers superior light element performance.
- Mapping feature for elemental topography/distribution.
- Helium seal means the optics are always under vacuum.

- Petroleum & petrochemicals.
- Cement.
- Coatings.
- Environmental.
- Food & food ingredients.
- Geology & minerals.
- Pharmaceuticals.
