With analysis of wafers up to 300mm, and an automatic wafer loader, this system makes X-ray analysis a tool for advanced materials research and also for process developmen
X-ray analysis to 21 CFR part 11
X-ray analysis systems and services fully support compliance with the US FDA's regulation on electronic signatures in the pharmaceutical and related industries
Importantly, MiniPal 4 Sulfur meets the requirements for sulfur analysis according to the international norms ASTM D4294-2007, ASTM D6841, ASTM D6445, ISO 20847 and ISO 8754.
The spectrometer can also determine product compliance with other relevant standards, such as DIN and EPA.
The MiniPal 4 Sulfur provides a robust, reliable and cost-effective method of analysis.
The instrument is one of the smallest full-function spectrometers available.
It is equipped with a 12-position sample changer; three tube filters, a helium gas attachment for light element analysis and a 15kV silver anode tube, the latter selected to give optimum performance for phosphorous, sulphur and chlorine analysis in petrochemicals.
The system also features a new silicon drift detector, which offers the best resolution available in its class.
Improved sensitivity, high maximum count rates, excellent resolution and lower limits of detection characterise the new detector.
Proven, powerful MiniPal software enables even inexperienced users to carry out routine analysis.
It includes automatic program selection (APS), which automatically selects the best calibration program to use, depending on the sulfur concentration of the unknown sample.
