SPECTRO iQ II With simple operation and excellent The Fast Track to Precise Analytical Results analytical performance, the SPECTRO iQ II X-ray fluorescence analyzer delivers rapid, precise and reliable analytical results for demanding process control applications. SPECTRO iQ II Sample The Fast Track to Precise Analytical Results Collimator Excitation Source Bragg Crystal The curved crystal in the C-Force polarization optical system optimally exploits the tube radiation output, achieving a sensitivity for the elements Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S and Cl that has never been reached before. The sensitivity, precision and speed of an analytical instrument are of particular importance for industrial process control applications. The SPECTRO iQ already set standards in this respect. The new SPECTRO iQ II maintains this course with further improved technologies and a consequent alignment towards simplicity and dependability of operation. Excitation pellets, a safety window can be fitted to Analysis The combination of a low-power X-ray the cup to prevent instrument For many applications the measurement tube and the advanced C-Force contamination. Samples can be precision of major components and the polarization optical system ensures exchanged without switching off the sensitivity for important trace elements optimum excitation of the elements in X-ray tube, ensuring maximum place the SPECTRO iQ II into the same the sample. The close coupled, form-reliability, a higher sample throughput performance class as the much more optimized HOPG crystal used to reflect and extended instrument performance. expensive wavelength dispersive the excitation radiation is located X-ray fluorescence spectrometers. extremely close to the sample, resulting Applications that were previously the in significantly improved analytical Detector domain of these types of instruments performance for light elements such as An exceptionally powerful silicon drift can now be handled using SPECTRO’s Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S and Cl. The sample detector - technologically derived from unique energy dispersive technology. chamber can be either evacuated or the detector in the premium The SPECTRO iQ II is capable of flushed with helium to further enhance performance SPECTRO XEPOS analyzing trace levels of many the performance of the light elements. spectrometer - is used in the important elements. The determination SPECTRO iQ II. The high spectral of ultra-low sulfur contents in fuels can resolution and the good signal to be accomplished in just a few hundred Sample Presentation background ratios are the basis for low seconds. For a wide range of production The SPECTRO iQ II is designed to allow detection limits, especially in difficult processes, the SPECTRO iQ II also offers the use of a new generation of sample matrices. With the high count rate exceptional analytical performance for cups. They can be very accurately processing capability, the operator important low atomic number elements. positioned, contributing to increased simultaneously profits from excellent measurement precision. When reproducibility and accuracy with short analyzing liquids, powders or pressed measurement times. Application Packages The SPECTRO iQ II can be supplied with prepared applications packages for: • ultra-low sulfur in fuel, • additives in oil, • cement and • slag Additional applications on request. Software Clarity, simplicity and focus: All hallmarks of the SPECTRO iQ II software. The new graphical user interface displays all important functions for routine operation at a glance. A touch screen can make operation even less complicated and more intuitive. The factory-calibrated, norm compliant, A glance at the new graphical user application packages are easily interface reveals all of the information customized to meet individual analytical important for routine operation. requirements.
