Axios FAST
Multi-element chemical composition analysis in seconds
Do you need non-destructive analysis of chemical composition in seconds because of time-critical process control or running sample high-throughputs? With up to 28 elements measured simultaneously in concentration ranges from ppm to 100%, the PANalytical Axios FAST simultaneous WDXRF spectrometer is the ideal solution. Accurate and robust analysis, ease of operation by less-experienced staff and high uptime go hand in hand with a low cost of ownership.
Fast results in time-critical applications
With analysis results being available in just a few seconds, the Axios FAST elemental analyzer is the ideal tool for time-critical applications and high sample throughput analysis environments. Main application areas include steel and metals alloy production as well as geological or commercial laboratories where hundreds of samples need to be analyzed every day.
Flexibility when required
For situations where analytical flexibility is required (such as analysis of elements outside the standard range), the Axios FAST can be equipped with up to 2 goniometers, virtually covering the complete analytical spectrum, turning the instrument into a fast and flexible solution and making it an even more solid investment.
Fully automated non-staffed operation
When equipped with a sample changer, the Axios FAST can run fully unattended and can be included in automated laboratory systems for fully automatic sample and analysis results processing. Automatic self-checking and recalibrating routines ensure that the performance of the instrument is always safe-guarded and traceable.
