Hitachi Launches New Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Analyzer

Hitachi Analytical Instruments (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. announced the launch of EA1280 in June 2023, a new type of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analyzer used to measure harmful substances in the environment in China.

In recent years, restricting the use of environmentally harmful substances has become common and has become a part of environmental protection work. With the introduction of regulations such as the RoHS/ELV directive, many companies, including manufacturers, are required to control the amount of restricted substances contained in their products. The new EA1280 has the detector resolution recommended by the Chinese national standard (GB standard), and compared to other semiconductor detectors such as Si PIN diodes, its work efficiency and analytical accuracy are higher. Especially compared to other analytical methods, X-ray fluorescence analysis can provide fast, non-destructive, and simple elemental analysis, so it is continuously used multiple times in RoHS compliance screening.

Characteristics of EA1280

1. New high-performance semiconductor detector (silicon drift detector (SDD)) is used to improve the efficiency of Test effort and obtain more reliable results.

2. Use coaxial optical devices for sample observation and X-ray irradiation, making it easy to analyze various samples.

3. Equipped with easy-to-use software, operators can use the analyzer with simple quality control and process control training.
