Hazardous metals : Cd, Pb and Hg (Screening applications)

These spectrometers enable the simple, rapid analysis of resins, metals, oxides, and liquids at the ppm level without pretreatment. The μEDX, which uses Shimadzu’s unique polycapillary (patent approved), is capable of measuring diameters as small as 50 um, that is difficult to attain with other X-ray fluorescence spectrometers.
