ElvaX Pro: Professional 60kV Na-U Accuracy

Revolutionary 60kV Technology

The cornerstone of ElvaX Pro's superior performance is its cutting-edge 60kV X-ray tube technology. This high-voltage capability delivers substantial advantages across the entire elemental spectrum, from light elements to heavy metals. The 60kV voltage specifically enables analysis of rare earth elements using their K-series lines, which provides more accurate and reliable results compared to traditional L-series analysis.

Additionally, the system significantly improves sensitivity for high-energy elements ranging from Palladium (Pd, Z=46) to Barium (Ba, Z=56). The X-ray tube operates at up to 1000 μA current, which dramatically enhances accuracy and detection limits for light elements including Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, and S. This exceptional current capability also enables small-spot analysis using collimators smaller than 1mm, perfect for examining jewelry, welds, and other precision applications.

Unmatched Speed and Accuracy

World-Class Throughput

ElvaX Pro stands as the world's fastest XRF analyzer, achieving throughput rates exceeding 400,000 counts per second (cps). This remarkable speed translates directly into highest accuracy and excellent precision within the shortest measurement time possible. The ultra-large area Fast Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) with 40 mm² active area captures more photons simultaneously, reducing analysis time while maintaining exceptional data quality.

The detector's energy resolution reaches 130 eV at Mn Kα and an impressive 85 eV at Al Kα, ensuring clear separation of spectral peaks even for complex multi-element samples. With a maximum count rate capacity of 500,000 cps, the system handles high-intensity signals without detector saturation or dead-time losses.

Advanced Analytical Capabilities

The ElvaX Pro combines powerful hardware with sophisticated software algorithms to deliver multipurpose analytical capabilities. The system supports multiple analysis methods including Fundamental Parameters Analysis (FPA), empirical regression calibrations, and manual spectra comparison. This flexibility allows users to optimize analysis protocols for specific materials and applications, ensuring reliable results across diverse sample types.

The proprietary DAS (Dynamically Adaptive Shaping) digital pulse processor operates at 80 MHz sampling rate, providing superior spectral resolution and stability. Combined with a 4096-channel multichannel analyzer (MCA), the system captures detailed spectral information for precise quantitative and qualitative analysis.

Enhanced Light Element Analysis

One of ElvaX Pro's most significant advantages is its exceptional performance with light elements. The optional helium purge feature improves sensitivity to light elements (Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S) several times over standard atmospheric conditions. Helium purging eliminates air absorption of low-energy X-rays, allowing these crucial elements to be detected with much lower detection limits and higher accuracy.

The combination of high tube current (up to 1000 μA), helium purging capability, and optimized detector geometry creates ideal conditions for light element analysis. This makes the ElvaX Pro particularly valuable for applications in environmental analysis, cement production, geological exploration, and materials science where accurate quantification of light elements is critical.

The system's 8-position automatic filter changer allows optimal excitation conditions for different element groups, further enhancing sensitivity across the entire Na-U range. Users can select filters specifically optimized for light, medium, or heavy elements, maximizing analytical performance for each application.

Precision Features for Demanding Applications

Small Spot Analysis

The ElvaX Pro features a motorized 5-position collimator changer that enables precise small-spot analysis. Collimators ranging down to less than 1mm diameter allow detailed examination of small samples, welds, jewelry items, and localized areas on larger specimens. A high-resolution CCD camera ensures accurate sample positioning, allowing users to target specific areas with confidence.

Automation and Productivity

For high-throughput laboratory environments, the optional 16-position automatic sample changer dramatically increases productivity. This feature enables unattended batch analysis, freeing laboratory personnel for other tasks while maintaining consistent analytical quality. The sample spinner accessory provides uniform analysis of inhomogeneous samples by averaging measurements across the sample surface, reducing sampling errors and improving result representativeness.

Stability and Reliability

The ElvaX Pro incorporates excellent calibration stability with automatic compensation for ambient temperature and pressure variations. This environmental compensation ensures consistent results regardless of laboratory conditions, reducing the need for frequent recalibration and maintaining long-term analytical accuracy. The compact design (430 × 340 × 200 mm) and modest weight (18 kg) make it suitable for diverse laboratory settings while maintaining robust construction.

Versatile Applications

The ElvaX Pro serves as a multipurpose laboratory instrument suitable for analyzing solids, powders, liquids, and samples deposited on surfaces or filters. Its broad application range includes:

• Positive Material Identification (PMI) - Rapid verification of metal alloys and grades in quality control and incoming inspection
  
• Metal Alloy Analysis - Precise determination of elemental composition in ferrous and non-ferrous alloys
  
• RoHS and WEEE Compliance - Screening for restricted substances in electronic and electrical equipment
  
• Mining and Geological Exploration - Ore grade determination and mineral characterization
  
• Environmental Analysis - Soil, sediment, and contamination monitoring
  
• Archeometry - Non-destructive analysis of cultural heritage objects and artifacts
  
• Cement and Construction Materials - Quality control of raw materials and finished products
  
• Petroleum Industry - Sulfur in oil determination and fuel quality analysis
  
• General Chemical Analysis - Elemental composition across diverse materials and matrices
  

This versatility makes the ElvaX Pro an ideal central analytical instrument for multi-purpose laboratories requiring reliable elemental analysis across varied sample types.

Technical Excellence

The ElvaX Pro's technical specifications reflect its position as the most powerful EDXRF spectrometer in the ElvaX family. The Digital X-Ray Source digiX-60 offers selectable anode materials (W, Rh, Ag) to optimize excitation for different analytical requirements. Operating on standard power supply (90-240V, 50/60 Hz) with modest power consumption (50W), the system integrates easily into existing laboratory infrastructure.

The Windows-based software (compatible with XP/Vista/7/8/10) provides intuitive operation while offering sophisticated analytical algorithms. Detection limits better than 1 ppm for most elements in light matrices demonstrate the system's exceptional sensitivity. The combination of fundamental parameters and empirical calibration approaches allows users to develop custom methods tailored to their specific analytical needs.
