NEX QC Series Overview

NEX QC brings EDXRF to your fingertips

Model: NEX QC

Experience easy and affordable elemental analysis with the NEX QC analyzer, your gateway to fast results without complex setups or sample preparation.

NEX QC provides non-destructive analyses of sodium to uranium in almost any sample type or material. It is made for quality control (QC) applications and can also measure the thickness of coatings on a substrate, such as chromium on aluminum or siliconized papers and films. Its small footprint, touchscreen operation, and built-in printer make it perfect when you are limited on space or for on-site testing purposes.

This instrument is designed for effortless operation and ease of use, even for non-technical operators. It has an embedded computer, and its touchscreen uses an intuitive icon-driven interface to guide you through analysis operations.

Product highlights:
  • Compact, space-saving design, no external computer required
  • Easy touchscreen operation and built-in printer for convenience
  • User-friendly for all levels of personnel, even beginners
  • Optional carrying case for portability

NEX QC+ gives you enhanced spectral resolution and throughput

Model: NEX QC+

Unlock the power of faster elemental analysis.

When you need quicker analysis times or increased sample throughput, the NEX QC+ analyzer offers you speed and flexibility beyond what NEX QC offers. Key enhancements include a high-performance silicone drift detector (SDD), giving you a step up in overall performance. This advanced detector gives you improved peak resolution and counting statistics, as well as reduced measurement times. With the same ease of use, you get improved calibrations and precision for more demanding applications.


NEX QC+ QuantEZ expands your analytical capabilities

Model: NEX QC+ QuantEZ

Take your elemental analysis to the next level with the NEX QC+ QuantEZ analyzer. This model offers a step up in performance and capabilities by adding powerful QuantEZ software.

Designed for users who need more than an entry-level system, the NEX QC+ QuantEZ runs from an external desktop or laptop computer. The core unit no longer features a touchscreen panel, but configurations are available with it for a hybrid experience.

NEX QC+ QuantEZ combines high-performance hardware with advanced software to simplify and streamline even the most complex workflows. This system transforms your experience with simple menu navigation and a customizable EZ Analysis screen. Unlike the base models, EZ Analysis uses an intuitive flow bar wizard for a step-by-step setup for creating your own methods. This simplifies method development to maximize your time and boost your productivity.

This model also expands your range of applications with the availability of RPF-SQX Fundamental Parameters. This software option reduces the need for standards, which can be expensive and hard to obtain. SureDI is also offered to support compliance with 21 CFR Part 11. This option allows those in regulated industries, like pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, to meet FDA requirements confidently.
