NEX QC+ QuantEZ

The Rigaku NEX QC+ QuantEZ is a compact benchtop energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) system combining superior performance capabilities with affordability. It provides rapid, non-destructive qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis of sodium (Na) through uranium (U) from low ppm to high weight percent concentrations. NEX QC+ QuantEZ addresses a wide range of routine analytical needs — from testing and screening oils and liquids to analyzing solids, metals, polymers, powders, pastes, coatings, and thin films — while still suiting budgets and occupying a small amount of space in the lab or testing facility. 

The design of NEX QC+ QuantEZ is backed by years of Rigaku innovation and is based on proven NEX QC Series technology. It has a 50 kV, 4 W X-ray tube, a silicon drift detector (SDD), multiple automated tube filters, and comes with powerful QuantEZ^® software. These key features deliver better analytical sensitivity, allowing users to measure and monitor almost any matrix and obtain reliable results.

QuantEZ software significantly lowers the cost of ownership and reduces workload requirements for running routine analyses. It is PC-based and runs on either a desktop or notebook computer. This software has intuitive menu navigation in multiple languages and offers all the functions required for calibration and routine operation. It is user-friendly for non-technical operators yet sophisticated and powerful enough for more complex applications. The simple flow bar interface walks users through the steps required to set up either an empirical or fundamental parameters application — saving time and maximizing productivity. Additionally, NEX QC+ QuantEZ accommodates various automatic sample changers for high-throughput analysis.

With its multi-element, multi-application analysis capabilities, NEX QC+ QuantEZ offers its users plenty of flexibility and versatility. Capable of standardless semi-quantitative analysis, this system also dramatically reduces the number of standards needed to implement a high-quality calibration. When standards are difficult to obtain or for complex matrices where many elements vary independently, this is especially useful. This makes NEX QC+ QuantEZ an excellent and economical option for use in academia for teaching and basic research. It also gives quality control labs and at-line technicians a fast and affordable means for QC checks along production and manufacturing lines.
