What’s the best way to balance performance, speed, and cost in elemental testing?

Elemental analysis is crucial for the petroleum and petrochemical industries. It ensures product quality, regulatory compliance, and process efficiency. For contract labs, refineries, and R&D facilities, selecting the right analyser means balancing cost, performance, and long-term flexibility. 

That’s where Rigaku’s energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analysers deliver. Widely adopted across the sector, Rigaku EDXRF benchtop and online EDXRF systems provide fast, multi-element analysis of sulphur, chlorine, metals, and more, from ultra-low and trace to percent concentrations. Whether you’re quantifying heavy elements in crude oil or testing sulphur in refined fuels, Rigaku EDXRFs address a wide range of industry needs and testing standards.

Built for ease of use and dependable performance, these systems streamline daily operations with intuitive software, customizable measurement conditions, and autosampler options that improve throughput. Their robust design supports consistent results across many sample types without the complexity of traditional lab methods. You can test crude oil, fuel oils, lubricants, and viscous hydrocarbons, and get results within minutes.

The Rigaku EDXRF product line includes the NEX QC Series offering compact, touchscreen instruments ideal for basic QC and field use; the high-throughput NEX DE Series for fast production environments; the advanced NEX CG II Series for trace-level sensitivity and complex matrices; and the NEX XT & NEX OL offering on-line options for real-time sulphur monitoring and catalyst elements in process streams

Whether you’re scaling lab capacity or optimizing in-line process control, Applied Rigaku Technologies offers flexible, cost-effective options to match your performance needs and budget requirements. They offer global support and decades of application expertise to back them.
