Keep up with production demands with automated XRF analysis. When different types of material have to be processed in parallel, the Thermo Scientific™ ARL OPTIM'X™ WDXRF Spectrometer with the Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ SMS-Omega XRF Instrument is the solution. Automatic sample preparation and handling without user intervention, combined with rapid analysis, provide high-quality results. This innovative solution has a compact footprint of less than 1 m², so it can be installed in centralized laboratories or on production shop floors, wherever fully automated industrial production control is needed.
This cost-effective system is a unique combination of Thermo Scientific XRF and automation technology for fully automated sample preparation and analysis of one material type.
