ED-XRF
The Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence spectroscopy (ED-XRF) is a versatile and non-destructive analytical technique. It is used for identifying and quantifying elemental compositions in solid, powder, and liquid samples. It works by measuring the characteristic X-rays emitted from a sample when it is excited by a primary X-ray source. ED-XRF provides rapid and accurate multi-element analysis. This method is particularly valuable in fields such as environmental science, geology, metallurgy, and quality control. It offers significant advantages in terms of speed, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to analyze a wide range of elements simultaneously.

EDX-8100 Functional Design
- Large Sample Chamber with Small Footprint: Installed width is 20% smaller than the previous instrument (EDX-720) due to its compact body size. The EDX-8100 can accommodate samples up to a maximum size of W300 x D275 x approx. H100 mm.
- High-Visibility LED Lamp: When X-rays are generated, an X-ray indicator at the rear of the instrument and an X-RAYS ON lamp at the front turn on, so that the instrument status can be monitored even from a distance.
Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy Analytical Performance
The high-performance SDD detector and optimized hardware achieve a high level of sensitivity, analysis speed, and energy resolution that were previously unattainable. It supports light element analysis of 6C to, and can be used in conjunction with the helium substitution option to analyze liquid samples containing light elements (F to Al) as is.
- High Sensitivity − Lower Limit of Detection Improved 1.5 to 5 Times: The high-performance SDD detector and combination of optimized optics and primary filters achieve previously unheard-of high levels of sensitivity. The sensitivity is higher than the previous Si (Li) semiconductor detector across the entire range from light to heavy elements.
- High Speed − Throughput Increased by up to a Factor of 10: The high fluorescent X-ray count per unit time (high count rate) of the SDD detector permits highly precise analysis in a shorter measurement time. This feature is achieved to the maximum when analyzing samples that generate a lot of fluorescent X-rays, such as samples with a metal as the Main component element.
- High Resolution: The EDX-8100 instruments achieve superior energy resolution compared to previous models by incorporating a state-of-the-art SDD detector. This reduces the effects of overlapping peaks of different elements, enhancing the reliability of the analysis results.
- No Liquid Nitrogen Required: The high fluorescent X-ray count per unit time (high count rate) of the SDD detector permits highly precise analysis in a shorter measurement time. This feature is achieved to the maximum when analyzing samples that generate a lot of fluorescent X-rays, such as samples with a metal as the Main component element.

The Shimadzu EDX-7200 is a flagship model of the EDX series in pursuit of high sensitivity, high speed and high precision. This model supports new regulations and directives for consumer and environmental compliance, such as RoHS/ELV, REACH, and TSCA with full exclusive screening analysis kits.
When a sample is irradiated with X-rays from an X-ray tube, the atoms in the sample generate unique X-rays that are emitted from the sample. Such X-rays are known as “fluorescent X-rays” and they have a unique wavelength and energy that is characteristic of each element that generates them. Consequently, qualitative analysis can be performed by investigating the wavelengths of the X-rays. As the fluorescent X-ray intensity is a function of the concentration, quantitative analysis is also possible by measuring the amount of X-rays at the wavelength specific to each element.
