Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT / BRUKER XCT #9243694 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT / BRUKER XCT Spectrometer is a versatile instrument for elemental and isotopic analysis. It comprises of an x-ray source, a detector, a sample chamber and a data acquisition system all housed in an ergonomic and user-friendly unit. This provides the ability to analyze and identify the composition of a vast array of materials from simple to complex. The x-ray source is an electron accelerometer that produces x-ray radiation with energy varying from 1.5 to 20 kiloVolt. This radiation is used to bombard the sample and free electrons which are then focused on the detector. Different elements in the sample will have different atomic numbers resulting in different energies absorbed by these electrons. This can be detected and used to differentiate the elements in the sample. The detector is fitted with a scintillation material which absorbs the energy of the incident electrons and converts it into light photons. These photons are then collected into an array of photodiodes that provide an analog signal which is then converted into a digital signal for processing. The sample chamber is designed to be hermetically sealed in order to remove any exposure to air. It also contains a focusing system and controls that allow the user to adjust the sample position and focus. The data acquisition system is responsible for collecting digital signals from the detector and producing data that can be displayed on a display screen or transferred to a computer for further analysis. HP XCT Spectrometer is designed to provide reliable results in an economic and efficient manner. This makes it an ideal choice for elemental and isotopic analysis.
