Applications
The ALTRACE is the flagship model of Shimadzu energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometers (EDX). Its X-ray optical system and signal processing system have been completely redesigned, and it provides high-sensitivity measurements of trace inorganic elements. Up to 48 samples can be analyzed consecutively, improving the efficiency of operations involving the analysis of many samples.
ALTRACE uses a high-output X-ray source, a new, high-efficiency detector, high-speed signal processing circuits, and a compact and highly efficient optical system. The detection lower limit has been improved for all elements in comparison to previous Shimadzu models, and the industry’s highest level of measurement sensitivity has been achieved. This instrument provides space savings and high measurement efficiency due to its compact size and a tray storage capacity of up to 48 samples.
