The ARL PERFORM'X integrates bulk elemental analysis capabilities with mapping and small-spot analysis to create a solution that offers unmatched versatility and performance for the analysis of any solid or liquid sample.
The ARL PERFORM'X offers users a choice of analyzed area sizes from 0.5 mm to 35 mm. As well as measuring the standard chemical composition of samples, the system facilitates elemental small-spot analysis to enable analysts to pinpoint focus on specimen sections as small as 0.5 mm. This significantly improves the versatility of analyses. The instrument’s advanced X-ray mapping and sample visualization capabilities also enable users to identify and characterize inhomogeneities, such as elemental inclusions, defects, and gradients in samples previously unidentifiable. The ARL PERFORM'X can handle samples of many sizes and types including solids, liquids, powders, and thin films.
Designed for analytical laboratories in areas as diverse as geochemistry, chemical, petrochemical, materials science, contract laboratories, and process control, the ARL PERFORM'X brings speed, reliability, and flexibility to solving composition problems in demanding industrial process and quality applications. With dual-sample loading, the spectrometer is able to process more than 60 samples per hour in a typical multi-element analysis case, offering rapid and precise analysis of up to 84 elements.
The system also provides the highest standards of safety with an innovative sample-recognition capability that ensures easy and safe loading of solids and liquids. In addition, it offers long-term stability and repeatability of results.
The ARL PERFORM'X comes with the latest version of the OXSAS software. OXSAS is an easy-to-use software solution that improves productivity through its rapid and accurate reporting features. Users also benefit from a synoptic panel that mimics real-time operation and internal functioning of the instrument on a separate display screen.
