Portable: PHECDA-ECO&PRO - High-Sensitivity X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer

• High-Sensitivity X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (HS XRF^®)

• Core Technologies
1) Hardware core technology: Monochromatic focused excitation technology

Monochromatic Focusing Excitation Technology
A fully focusing hyperbolic curved crystal monochromatizes a specific wavelength from the X-ray tube emission spectrum and focuses it onto the sample point via diffraction. Consequently, the X-rays emitted from the sample consist solely of fluorescent X-rays generated by exciting elements in the sample and scattered rays from the monochromated incident spectrum line, with no continuous scattering background. This ensures extremely low background interference for the characteristic lines of target elements.

2) Software core technology: Fast fundamental parameter method

XRF methods face challenges such as matrix effects, inter-element absorption-enhancement effects, and lack of standard samples, complicating quantitative analysis for diverse sample types.

The Fundamental Parameters Method represents the forefront of XRF research. Holospec FP (Holospec FP 2.0^®) calculates every stage of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy from generation to detection, establishing mathematical models for well-defined physical phenomena. Holospec FP comprehensively computes various X-ray effects, reduces analytical errors, and delivers precise quantitative elemental results through calibration with minimal standard materials (or certified reference samples).

High-Sensitivity XRF provides trace heavy metal detection capability. Holospec FP 2.0 enhances precise quantification. Their integration creates new XRF application prospects.

• Monochromatic Focusing Excitation Technology
Uses hyperbolic curved crystal monochromator to optimize excitation efficiency and reduce continuous scatter background, enhancing signal-to-noise ratio.

• High-Performance SDD Detector
PHECDA series adopts advanced silicon drift detectors (SDD) with optimized crystal area, window material, count rate, and resolution.

• Holospec FP 2.0 Algorithm
1）XRF analysis faces challenges where elemental fluorescence intensity depends not only on the element's content but also on other elements—the matrix absorption-enhancement effect. This physical phenomenon complicates standard sample selection. Inconsistent matrix composition or failure to cover the full elemental range in standards introduces analytical errors.

2）The fundamental parameters method calculates every step from X-ray generation to detection, establishing mathematical models. It eliminates background variations from sample matrix differences, reduces analytical errors, and achieves precise quantification with minimal calibration standards.

• Optimized Cadmium Detection
Cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, is of significant concern in environmental protection and food safety. Conventional XRF struggles to excite/detect Cd (Kα: 23.1KeV). High-sensitivity XRF achieves 0.05 mg/kg detection limits via monochromatic focused excitation.
