Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ QUANT'X Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer Technical Analysis

Core Technological Innovations

As Thermo Fisher's flagship ED-XRF system, the QUANT'X series integrates three breakthrough technologies:

1. Polycapillary Optics System

   • Achieves 30μm micro-area analysis capability
   • 5× higher photon throughput than conventional collimators (e.g., 0.8ppm LOD for Cd Lβ line)

2. Dual-Detector Configuration

   • Standard SDD detector (<145eV resolution)
   • Optional ULEGe detector extends to fluorine analysis

3. Smart Matrix Correction

   • Proprietary FP-MLS algorithm for mineralogical effects
   • 200+ pre-loaded material calibration curves (Mg to U)

Industry Application Performance

Secondary Market Valuation

1. Value Determinants

   • Configuration: Base model (¥600k) vs HD version (¥950k)
   • Critical component status: X-ray tube hours <15,000 preferred

2. Inspection Criteria
   ✓ X-ray tube HV stability (<0.01kV fluctuation)
   ✓ Detector resolution (FWHM<150eV at Mn-Kα)
   ✓ Vacuum chamber integrity (≤5Pa holding capacity)

3. Value-Added Refurbishment

   • Collimator replacement (recommended biennially)
   • UniQuant 6.4 upgrade (adds rare earth element package)

Localization Progress

Amid global supply chain challenges:

• Tariff Impact: 18% price increase for U.S.-manufactured units (2024 data)
• Domestic Alternatives:
  ✓ Puxi Universal EDX 3600 (50kV/1mA breakthrough)
  ✓ Skyray EDX-7000 (RoHS testing applications)

Service Advantages

1. Response Time

   • 6-hour emergency support in East China (vs 72-hour import brand average)

2. Consumable Cost Comparison

   Consumable	OEM Price	Domestic Alternative
   X-ray Tube	¥85,000	¥32,000 (70% lifespan)
   Filter	¥12,000	¥4,000 (equivalent performance)
