The team at Applied Rigaku Technologies is excited to announce the launch of the NEX CG II on July 6th, 2021.

It builds on NEX CG’s legacy of using full 90° Cartesian Geometry and secondary targets for trace level sensitivity. The new superior analytical power of the NEX CG II is provided by a proven 50 kV 50 W end-window palladium-anode X-ray tube, monochromatic or polarized excitation from five secondary targets, and a high-performance large-area silicon drift detector. This unique and improved optical kernel, combined with Rigaku’s advanced RPF-SQX Fundamental Parameters software, delivers the most sensitive EDXRF measurements in the industry.

The NEX CG II offers many new features and benefits. Some are listed below.

• Analytical performance

• New large-area high-throughput detector, preamp, and DSP improves performance across all applications

• Improved Al target design enhances heavy element performance

• New helium purge with reduced helium consumption (0.35 vs. .66 l/min on original CG) and easy set-up

• New vacuum design with DC voltage pump control (Similar to DE)

• New aperture design for added spill protection, ease of film replacement, and rapid purge

• New tray designs to address the needs of many applications and sample types

• 15-position 32 mm with park position

• 10-position 40 mm with park position

• 10-position 40 mm sample spinner tray

• 9-position 52 mm for large samples

• Reduced size and weight
