Introducing SPECTROCUBE ED-XRF SPECTROMETER FOR PRECIOUS METALS TESTING Easy, reliable, accurate analysis at twice the speed Introducing the high-throughput answer for precious metals analysis SPECTROCUBE SPECTROCUBE Targeted technology SPECTROCUBE TARGETS ISSUES THAT USERS HAVE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS, AND OFFERS CLEAR SOLUTIONS. Testing centers, hallmarking and assay offices, and jewelry makers must establish the precise Example: one-stop calibration for alloy groups. Forget performing separate calibrations for specific value of the materials they handle. So their analytical instruments must determine exactly what gold alloys, or undertaking tedious remeasurements. For most precious metals analyses, SPECTROCUBE elements — gold or silver; platinum or palladium; nickel, copper, zinc, or more — are present in delivers the required accuracy with its general-purpose calibrations set alone! a given precious metal sample or piece of jewelry, and at what concentration levels. These high-Other XRF analyzers may not register minor and trace amounts of some nonprecious volume operations also demand reliable analysis that’s simple and quick. Short measurement components. That’s a potentially costly shortcoming. Example: in a gold alloy sample, intervals, effortless workflow via intuitive software, and low downtime are vital. And given failing to detect ten minor elements, each at 0.05%, could produce an erroneous — and these metals’ high values, nondestructive testing is a must. expensive — 0.5% higher total for gold. SPECTRO — A GLOBAL LEADER IN ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTATION — INTRODUCES THE NEW SPECTROCUBE SPECTROMETER TO MEET OR EXCEED THESE REQUIREMENTS. SPECTROCUBE employs improved technologies for energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) analysis. It adapts the performance and reliability that have made the SPECTRO MIDEX spectrometer a benchmark for precious metals analysis. SPECTROCUBE ED-XRF ANALYZER FOR PRECIOUS METALS TESTING The compact new SPECTROCUBE small-spot spectrometer incorporates the latest developments With the latest high-resolution silicon drift detector (SDD) and an ultra-high count rate, SPECTROCUBE handles in ED-XRF detector technology, including high resolution and high count rate. Along with its ease, trace elements with ease. At the same measurement time as previous-generation models, SPECTROCUBE speed, and affordability, these innovations help make it the ideal benchtop solution for high-volume delivers up to 3x higher intensities, for significantly improved precision. (Alternatively, users who prioritize precious metals analysis. speed can perform an accurate analysis within only 15 seconds.) UNPARALLELED EXCEPTIONAL SPEED RUGGED ENSURED EASE OF USE & PERFORMANCE RELIABILITY AFFORDABILITY Intuitive software presents relevant information Analyzing precious metals alloys, SPECTROCUBE SPECTROCUBE is constructed with user-tested, top-grade SPECTROCUBE provides dependable, high-throughput, components below the chamber floor, eliminating more on a single screen. SPECTROCUBE enables a fast, provides high precision for a wide range of con-components for 24/7 use in demanding, high-throughput cost-effective analysis. Its price/performance ratio elaborate sample positioning mechanisms so the user smooth workflow even for minimally trained users. centration levels — plus testing times as low as quality control operations. It’s designed to provide makes it affordable for precious metals testing offices, can process high numbers of samples quickly and Analyze each sample in three easy steps: 1) Center 15 seconds. That’s 2x faster than many analyzers low operating costs over a long, trouble-free service hallmarking centers, and manufacturing labs. Finally, its efficiently. In addition, those components are guarded the sample over the measurement window on the in its class! So it can handle hundreds of precious life.
