(Shimadzu Scientific Instruments Inc.: Columbia, MD) -- Shimadzu Scientific Instruments announces its new ALTRACE energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, designed with the latest X-ray optical system and proprietary high-speed signal processing technology to achieve outstanding high-sensitivity analysis. This instrument is ideal for detecting hazardous heavy metals and inorganic elements from sodium to uranium across diverse industries, including food safety, environmental monitoring, chemicals, mining, and more.

Operators can conveniently analyze trace elements in liquid, solid, and powder samples with minimum sample preparation. The improvement in detection limits, driven primarily by a high-energy 65 kV X-ray tube and a proprietary high-count rate detector, enables analysts to detect and quantify even lower levels of trace elements. In addition, users can efficiently implement batch elemental analysis from ppm to percent levels.
