Used CETAC ASX-100 #9402279 for sale

CETAC ASX-100 is a sophisticated laboratory spectrometer designed for a wide range of applications including elemental analysis and molecular characterization of inorganic samples. It offers excellent resolution and performance powered by a low-energy X-ray source, a unique high-efficiency vacuum equipment, and CETAC patented Proportional Counter Analyzer (PCA) technology. Using the Proportional Counter Analyzer (PCA), ASX-100 is capable of detecting both light and heavy elements including metals, alloys, and other industrial materials. CETAC ASX-100's energy source consists of an X-ray tube powered by a high-tension direct voltage (DC) power supply. This DC power supply is adjustable from 0.8 - 5.4 kV and is equipped with an automatic voltage ramping feature. ASX-100's high-efficiency vacuum system is designed to reduce background counts, reduce maintenance time, and improve sample throughput. It features a sealed, double vacuum unit that is isolated from the working chamber and a closed, pressurized vacuum machine that reduces contamination. The Proportional Counter Analyzer uses an array of counting tubes to collect X-ray data, which is then processed through a digital spectrometer to yield an elemental analysis. CETAC ASX-100's unique configuration of detector, filters, and energy source significantly reduces background noise and ensures high performance. The instrument also includes a multi-channel analyzer which provides a full spectrogram, allowing the user to easily identify and quantify the target elements. In order to improve performance, ASX-100 utilizes several advanced features such as sample compartment cooling, background subtraction, and an advanced data acquisition tool. Sample compartment cooling is designed to reduce interference from room temperature fluctuations that can impact results. The background subtraction feature helps reduce background noise which can interfere with sample analysis. The advanced data acquisition asset allows the user to adjust gain and offset, set scan parameters, and export custom results. CETAC ASX-100 is lightweight and highly portable, making it ideal for applications such as in-field analysis, research laboratories, and educational use. The instrument also comes with its own accessories such as sample cells, X-ray filters, sample holders, and a nanoscoop. Combined with powerful PCA technology and a variety of advanced features, ASX-100 is an ideal spectrometer for both professionals and beginners.
