Si-PIN detector
The XPIN Si-PIN detector from MOXTEK is intended for use in benchtop and handheld energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence instrumentation. The detector reportedly is optimized to provide maximized resolution, count rate, energy absorption, and peak-to-background for industrial and scientific applications. According to the company, the detector has a 625-µm-thick Si-PIN diode, an ultralow-noise JFET, a multilayer collimator, a preamplifier, and a two-stage thermoelectric cooler. The detector’s 8-µm windows are coated to resist corrosion and harsh environments. The detector is available with a 6-mm2 or 13-mm2 active area. MORE »
ICP-MS system
The PerkinElmer Sciex NexION 300 ICP-MS system provides standard, collision, and reaction modes of operation. In standard mode, the system’s cell reportedly is turned off for use with elements that require no interference correction. In collision mode, the system can be used for semiquantitative analyses, environmental sample monitoring, and the testing of unknown samples. According to the company, the instrument’s reaction mode removes interferences without loss of analyte sensitivity and features a scanning quadrupole that allows only the element of interest to pass to the analyzing quadrupole.
