• Detector: Silicon Drift detector with active area 30 mm2, having resolution ≤ 140 eV @ Mn Kα
• Ten autosampler positions with spinner, circular sample holders
• Software: Omnian (standardless) software for qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Sample Preparation Equipment:

• Vibratory cup mill for fine grinding of powders to 50-micron size.
• 40-ton motorized Hydraulic press with a Die Set of 35 mm.

Application:

• Quality assurance through elemental analysis of raw materials like limestone, clays, and final cement products.
• Rapidly determine the elemental composition in ores, rocks, and minerals for exploration and quality control.
• Analysis of heavy metals and pollutants in soil, sediments, and airborne particulates.

Sample Requirement

• Sample Form: Solid, liquid, Powder, Paste.
• Dust-free flat solid sample.
• Solid block/pallets of circular shape having a flat diameter from 28 to 50 mm.
• Samples in powder form should be of a grain size around 50 microns, and preferred to make pellets for a good signal-to-noise ratio.
• The minimum amount of sample needed to make a pellet is 10 grams. Boric Acid is used as a binding agent for making pellets.
• Liquid samples can also be analyzed.
• For quantification, loss on ignition (LOI) and free moisture parameters are needed and provided by the user.
• Quantification is performed using the Omnian method, a standardless method.
• Quantification can be provided in oxide form and elemental form, depending on the user's requirement.
