The Quickshot XRF line of XRF analysers is claimed to provide a low-cost alternative to the current XRF systems that are available, while performing with similar speed, accuracy and repeatability.
The first instruments available from Quickshot XRF include the Handheld XRF (QSX-HH), which offers multiple software package options.
The software can provide a solution to alloy verification and precious-metal analysis or for hazardous-substance detection.
QSX Instruments believes that the HS-Software Package will be the most popular as current lead-content regulations (including CPSIA and RoHS) are creating a need for the fast, in-house hazardous-substance screening of products.
In developing software for the handheld system, the main goal was ease of use; the software is run through a touch-screen personal digital assistant (PDA), providing simple setup and measurement launch.
The unit has the ability to toggle between screens during measurements for the review of real-time data, spectra and instrument setup, as well as for quick download to any desktop system for long-term storage and analysis in Microsoft Excel/Word.
Additional instruments in the initial launch will include two desktop analysers.
The QSX-79T will provide a low-cost XRF gold tester and the QSX-295T will provide full precious-metal analysis, including gold-karat identification in just five seconds.
The QSX-295T has a software package that is claimed to be simple to operate and has features that many current X-ray fluorescence users demand.
Neither instrument requires liquid nitrogen (LN2).
