Everyday elemental testing in one compact system

Elemental testing is essential across petroleum operations, from verifying sulphur levels in finished fuels to monitoring metals in crude oils. Laboratories and production teams need results that are fast, reliable, and compliant with regulatory standards, without adding complexity or cost. Rigaku's NEX QC II Series meets these demands with a compact, multi-element EDXRF system engineered for routine QA/QC, field verification, and in-plant checks.

Designed with a built-in computer and printer, NEX QC II Series integrates analysis and reporting into a single platform. Its icon-driven touchscreen interface guides users from setup through results, minimising training time and reducing operator error. The NEX QC II Series analysers are easy to learn and simple to run, while supporting consistent performance for sulphur, metals, and other key elements. They comply with widely used test methods, including ASTM D4294, D8252-19, ISO 13032, and ASTM D5059.

NEX QC II Series provides:

•    Multi-element performance in a compact benchtop system

•    Rapid verification of sulphur and other key elements

•    Compliance with ASTM D4294, D8252-19, ISO 13032 and ASTM D5059

•    Embedded computer and built-in printer

•    Minimal sample preparation and low per-sample cost

In refinery and quality control laboratories, daily QA/QC requires dependable multi-element capability and precision. The NEX QC II Series delivers consistent sulphur measurements alongside other critical elements, enabling teams to confirm product specifications quickly and confidently.

Its small footprint fits easily into labs with limited space. Interchangeable autosampler trays can be pre-loaded and swapped to increase sample throughput. Because the software operates on an integrated platform, no external computer is required. Results can be printed directly or exported via USB or network connection. The interface supports multiple languages and integrates with LIMS.

Field labs and remote testing locations often require fast confirmation of sulphur content before transfer, blending, or shipment. The NEX QC II Series analysers are built for these environments. They offer immediate verification without sending samples to centralised labs. An optional carrying case supports portable use when needed.  

Within production facilities, in-plant checks help monitor process consistency and identify deviations early. The NEX QC II Series supports rapid elemental analysis directly in plant environments, allowing teams to quickly verify sulphur and other key elements without adding complexity to the process. NEX QC II Series does not require specialised training, expensive consumables, or frequent maintenance that can slow operations.  

For petroleum laboratories, remote testing locations, and production facilities, the NEX QC II Series delivers fast, reliable multi-element performance in a compact, easy-to-use platform. These systems provide a practical solution for routine QA/QC, field verification, and in-plant checks—combining reliability, cost control, and regulatory confidence in a single system.
