Rigaku Features Latest Instruments at Expomin 2016
Santiago, Chile (PRWEB) April 27, 2016 -- Rigaku Corporation is pleased to announce its attendance at the XIV World Mining Exhibition and Congress for Latin America (Expomin) – this week through April 29, 2016 in Santiago Chile . Rigaku is presenting its current line of analytical X-ray instrumentation at booth # 352, Hall 1B at the Espacio Riesco Convention and Events Center
Expomin is the largest mining expo in the world outside of the United States, and the most important in Latin America. The conference brings together a diverse range of technology, equipment, machines, services and suppliers for the national and Latin American mining industries, including participants representing more than 1,600 suppliers from 36 countries around the world, along with an estimated 80,000 attendees. The meeting highlights innovation and technological solutions for the production process sought by today's mining industry.
X-ray analytical equipment is routinely used by geologists to analyze the composition and molecular structure of rock and mineral samples. In recent years, X-ray analytical techniques have become more powerful with small spot excitation, mapping, and standardless quantitative analysis.
Among the analytical instrumentation being presented by Rigaku is the new Rigaku ZSX Primus IV “Tube Above” high performance wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometer. Introduced in March of this year, the 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 — with minimal standards.
Also featured at the event is the Rigaku MiniFlex benchtop X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrument. The fifth generation MiniFlex is a general purpose X-ray diffractometer that is typically employed to quantitatively measure phase composition.
The Rigaku Supermini200 is the world's only high-power benchtop sequential WDXRFspectrometer for elemental analysis. The Supermini200 delivers high sensitivity for light elements with superior spectral resolution, easily analyzing low concentration levels of light elements (F, Na, Mg, Ca, Si, Al, and P).
Rigaku Micro-Z ULS WDXRF sulfur (S) analyzer is designed for ultra-low level sulfur analysis of diesel, petrol (gasoline) and other fuels. Specifically designed for non-technical users, all operations – from calibration through routine analysis – can be performed via the easy-to-use interface.
Long having been utilized for geological research, X-ray analytical techniques have become more powerful with small spot excitation, mapping, and standardless quantitative analysis.
