The Rigaku (USA) ZSX Primus II wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer is the newest member of the ZSX family of spectrometers. Featuring the latest available technology, the ZSX Primus II is a 4 kW WDXRF spectrometer with the thinnest end window tube (30 micron) available in the industry, with the analytical capability for Be4 to U92.

The new ZSX Primus II features an innovative “tube-above” (inverted) configuration, rendering the x-ray tube less susceptible to damage. The optics-above geometry minimises the risk of contaminated beam path and reduces down time due to sample chamber maintenance.

A newly designed sample-handling system, flexible changeover between helium and vacuum environments, versatile, modular software, and the thinnest end-window tube in the industry, give the ZSX Primus II superior light element performance. In addition to the cutting-edge components, the ZSX Primus II features a unique mapping system and small sampling capabilities that can be field upgraded to suit changing demands.

Its small footprint, flexible environment changeover, unsurpassed light element response, and one-of-a-kind mapping system and premier user interface make the ZSX Primus II your top choice for superior elemental analysis.
