Innov-X? MESA 6000

Description

The MESA 6000 is a specialized, compact XRF workstation that offers superior measurement of S, Cl, and other elements in petroleum-based products. MESA 6000 technology is based on the latest tube and detector technologies in Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and utilizing closely coupled monochromatic, polarized EDXRF analysis techniques. It was developed specially for Horiba’s Scientific Elemental Analyzers Product Line utilizing Olympus Innov-X field-proven EDXRF technology that originated from on-board oil and fuel analysis specially built for the marine shipping industry.
Quick & Accurate
Typical test times are 3 minutes per sample for less than 50 ppm concentrations
Less than 2 minutes per sample for concentrations above 50 ppm
Detection limits for S and Cl are in the low ppm level with an upper range in the % level
Simultaneous multielement determination capability
New technology eliminates oxygen interference that can vary results significantly
Easy
Touchscreen graphical user interface displays all the important functions for routine operation at a glance
USB ports allow a supervisor to easily plug in a keyboard and mouse to handle more complex tasks
Clean
Unlike some methods for S and Cl, the MESA 6000 models are low maintenance and do not require furnaces, conversion gases or micro syringes.

Specifications
X-Ray Tube
Air-cooled, Ag anode x-ray tube; 0-12.5 kV; 0-2 mA
Monochromator
A closely coupled, doubly curved HOPG crystal is used to reflect the Ag Ka excitation radiation for optimal excitation of S and Cl resulting in significantly improved analytical performance. The sample chamber is under vacuum to further enhance sensitivity.
