To better address the unique needs of lab managers in metallurgy, mining and cement plants with solutions that offer enhanced precision, efficiency and versatility, Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched the Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ X900 XRF Spectrometer.

The ARL X900 XRF Spectrometer can analyze more than twenty elements in under one minute, offering exceptional speed and reliability, and builds on the foundation of the well-known Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ 9900 XRF Spectrometer. 

By offering enhanced precision and versatility, the ARL X900 XRF Spectrometer will enable lab managers to streamline operations, reduce production costs, and elevate overall efficiency in industrial settings. The unique combination of full XRF goniometer, high-performance fixed channels, and dual-sample loader offers users increased flexibility and throughput for industrial process control. With a focus on enhancing efficiency and accuracy, the ARL X900 Spectrometer integrates advanced XRF and XRD capabilities in one instrument, allowing for comprehensive material characterization and phase analysis, for applications such as cement, direct reduced iron (DRI) and aluminum smelting.

With the ARL X900 Spectrometer, lab managers can expect a robust solution that will exceed their current expectations for elemental analysis instrumentation. New to the market, the ARL X900 Spectrometer stands out as one of the most precise WDXRF spectrometers to date and the only XRF and XRD combined spectrometer for advanced process control and material characterization.
