Key Features

High sample throughput

With fast sample handling and outstanding operational reliability, the Axios FAST simultaneous XRF spectrometer is the first choice for high-speed analytical control.

Continuous loading via turret mechanism
168 position VRC sample changer, with flexible tray loading for unattended batch analysis
Direct loading
Sample barcode reader for fast, error-free sample loading and data entry

Enhanced performance

Simultaneous measurement of up to 28 elements, with a minimum of 2 second measurement per sample
High sensitivity HiPer channels for light-element analysis
Analytical flexibility with the option of up to 4 goniometers
Range of X-ray anode materials (Rh, Cr, Mo, Au) enables highest performance for specific application

Enhanced instrument uptime

Designed for process critical analysis, Axios FAST is manufactured to the highest quality standards, incorporating innovative technology to prevent and minimize downtime.

SST-mAX with ZETA technology - eliminating tube drift and reducing calibration maintenance
CHI-BLUE X-ray tube window coating for increased X-ray tube durability and corrosion resistance
Dust removal device removes dust from samples prior to measurement, minimizing dust entry to the system, maximizing uptime
Compact measurement chamber with externally mounted channels – allows unrestricted access to critical components without compromising the vacuum system -allowing rapid post-maintenance stabilization

Proven and dedicated software for limited user intervention

Axios FAST operates using the latest version of PANalytical’s proven SuperQ XRF software, renowned for its highly intuitive interface and menu. Even inexperienced personnel can carry out routine analyses with a minimum of instruction, yet the software still contains the analytical power and capabilities needed to meet the most experienced users’ requirements.

Made for automation

Axios FAST’s dedicated software and hardware interfaces allow flexible connection to sample transport devices and host computers, for fully automated analysis. Axios FAST is also the basis of the TEAMworks (total element analyzing module) solution that combines OES and WDXRF.
