PHOENIX II

using Direct Excitation
Benchtop ED-XRF Analyzer
The PHOENIX II using Direct Excitation Optics (DE)
is an Energy Dispersive-X-Ray Fluorescent (ED-XRF)
benchop analyzer that offers extreme simplicity of
operation in a lowcost compact design. It is ideal for
elemental analysis of liquids, solids, pastes, slurries
and powders for various elements qualitatively
and quantitatively. This ED-XRF spectrometer has
been designed for use in the rugged environment of
production process and quality control, but is also well
suited for the laboratory. An onboard PC makes use
of Windows™ operating system along with a simple,
intuitive touchscreen display, making analysis easy
for nontechnical operators, but advanced enough for
even the more experienced user as well.
t The PHOENIX II DE combines direct source
X-rays, optional source and/or detector filter, and
a rugged gas-filled proportional counter detection
system, giving the PHOENIX II DE improved
performance. The detector design yields a high
X-ray count rate throughput and utilizes a detector
filter for specific applications to enhance analytical
performance. With its onboard computer, no external
computer is needed. The PHOENIX II DE does not
require an external mouse or keyboard, yet offers
USB, VGA and Ethernet connections for networking
and connecting to external devices. This compact,
simple to operate XRF system offers a unique
combination of close-coupled geometry with a
rugged detector for high sample throughput at a very
affordable price and low cost of ownership.

Typical Applications include:

t ASOMA Instruments was established in Austin, Texas, in
1979 as one of the first companies to offer low-cost benchtop
EDXRF instrumentation. Throughout the next decade and
a half, ASOMA became established as an industry leader
with the development and release of the Models 100,
200 and 200T-series of XRF analyzers, as well as on-line
instrumentation for measuring sulfur in liquid hydrocarbon
streams.
