Experimenter's XRF Kit

Amptek’s “XRF Kit” is a package designed to help a user quickly begin doing elemental analysis via X-ray fluorescence (XRF). It includes hardware and software supplied by Amptek, which must be supplemented by some components from the user. Once this kit is assembled and the software configured and calibrated, one can begin doing simple analyses. This kit is general pupose, so is not tailored to a particular application, but can be the starting point for a customized system. There are two versions of the kit: one using the XR100/PX4 and one with the X-123. The XR100/PX4 combination is the best performing and most flexible and is designed for laboratory use. The PX4 can be used with other detectors and offers software control of all detector power supplies. The X-123 configuration is designed for OEM and custom applications where size and portability are considerations. The X-123 is designed to be small and low power and therefore has fixed power supplies set to the requirements of the detector.

NOTE: The XRF Kit is available with any Si-PIN or SDD detector. See the Selection Guide.

The user must supply a Windows 98SE - Vista (32-bit) PC with three (3) available USB ports, radiation shielding and an enclosure, and a sample mount or holder.
