Rigaku Corporation presented its wide range of X-ray analytical instrumentation at the 58th Annual Eastern Analytical Symposium and Exhibition (EAS).

The event is took place Monday, November 18 through Wednesday, November 20, 2019 at the Crowne Plaza Princeton – Conference Center in Plainsboro, NJ. Rigaku presented its latest benchtop X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Raman spectroscopy instrumentation at booth M1.

EAS is held each year to showcase the latest instrumentation and services for analytical scientists and provide professionals and students continuing education in analytical sciences. The theme for the three-day event is “Enhancing Analytical Chemistry with Sustainable Solutions.” An exhibition and technical program, along with professional development workshops will be featured, highlighting the latest innovations in analytical chemistry.

Rigaku manufactures a complete line of X-ray analytical instrumentation and components for research, testing, industrial process control, and product development. Systems include the Rigaku MiniFlex XRD and Supermini200 wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) benchtop systems, and the Rigaku SmartLab multi-purpose diffractometer with small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and in-plane capabilities.

The Rigaku Progeny 1064nm-based handheld Raman analyzer will be available for in-booth demonstrations. The unit is designed for flexibility and ease-of-use, to meet the needs of routine manufacturing and more intricate quality assurance applications.

Fluorescence SpectroscopyFluorometers and spectrofluorometers (also called fluorescence spectrometers) are used to measure the intensity and wavelength of fluorescent light emitted from a sample after excitation by illumination. Spectrofluorometers utilize monochromators to select the desired wavelengths, whereas filter fluorometers employ a set of filters. Spectrofluorometers for measuring steady-state fluorescence and lifetime fluorescence (or time-resolved fluorescence) are available, as well as fluorescence microscopes and microplate readers.

Explore a range of Raman spectrometers, including handheld/portable Raman spectrometers for QC/QA labs and in situ spectrometers for processes. Conduct Raman imaging for microanalysis of mixed samples using a Raman microscope. Raman spectrographs are also available.

X-Ray diffractometers (XRD) are superior instruments in elucidating the dimensional atomic structure of crystalline materials, including powders, thin films and single crystals. For large unit cells or ordered macromolecules, consider small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). X-ray spectroscopic techniques include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), both providing simple and accurate methods for determining the elemental composition of a material. Energy dispersive (EDXRF) and wavelength dispersive (WDXRF) XRF spectrometers are available, as well as handheld/portable devices. High-resolution, 3D microstructure characterization of materials can be achieved with X-ray microscopes combining sub-micron resolution imaging with 3D computed tomography.
