Energy Dispersive micro X-ray fluorescence spectrometer

The new Shimadzu series of Micro EDX instruments combine the resolution and flexibility of energy dispersive instruments with the speed and convenience of non dispersive instruments.
Microanalysis of electronic components, circuit boards, and foreign matter in foods was difficult with conventional fluorescence X-Ray spectrometers due to poor sensitivity at a small illuminated size and insufficient resolution even at full X-Ray intensity. However, the new Shimadzu series of Micro EDX spectrometers achieves high sensitivity and high resolution analysis of such samples down to a minimum measured diameter of 50 microns.
Key micro EDX features
• Polycapillary X-Ray Lens High Sensitivity Micro Analysis (50ґm)
•Analyze Light to Heavy Elements in Air
•Dual CCD Camera (High & Low Magnification) Simple positioning of the Sample
•Element Mapping Maps Multiple Elements Simultaneously
•5 Primary Filters Provided as Standard Automatically Eliminates Undesirable X-Rays from the Tube & Improves Signal to Noise Ratio
•Transmission Imaging Unit (Optional) Simultaneous Measurement of Transmission X-Ray Images
•Accommodates Samples up to 200(W) x 300(D) x 40(H)mm
•Real Time Scaling Stage Viewer Function Displays Entire Stage Simple mouse click on analysis position moves the stage to target

New Pressure Control System Available!

Ever get the feeling that two hands are just not enough when working in a lab? OFITE is pleased to introduce a new product to make your life a lot easier. Our new Pressure Control System can provide and maintain a constant pressure on up to four high pressure filtration units. Particularly useful for Permeability Plugging Testers, you no longer have to fiddle with the pressure while you're trying to catch filtrate.

Carl Lacombe with Ambar Lonestar Fluid Service approached OFITE in December about the need for a multi-unit pressure control system for his OFITE Permeability Plugging Testers. Our Engineering Services Department worked closely with Carl on the design of the product and he couldn't be happier. According to Carl, "The new unit surpassed my expectations. PPT test accuracy and repeatability are vastly improved. The technician time savings alone have justified the expense of the equipment."

To learn more about or order a Pressure Control System, email us at marketing@ofite.com. If you have a need for a custom product and would like help in designing it, contact our Engineering Services Department at dnorwood@ofite.com.

OFITE Now a Supplier of API Standard Materials

Now your best choice for Mud Testing Equipment is also your supplier for API Standard Evaluation Clay, freshly packed and ready for immediate delivery (part #191-00).

Model 900 Viscometer Comparative Data

Recently, a customer did a series of measurements on a sample of xanthan gum using the OFITE Model 900 Viscometer* and another competitive model from a well-known manufacturer. The results are amazing! The OFITE Model 900 measurements are right on target with the competitive model AND the Model 900 was able to capture lower shear readings (.01 s-1) than the "low-shear" competition. At 1/10th the cost of the competitive model, the Model 900 is a great investment!

Satisfaction Surveys - Your Input is Important to Us!

In an effort to better gauge how well we are servicing our customers and to help meet ISO 9001 requirements, OFITE has started randomly selecting customers to partake in a customer satisfaction survey. If you haven't received an email yet, chances are you may soon get one! The email will provide details of a recent repair or purchase from OFITE and will give you a link to a short online survey you can take.
