Skyray EDX6000C Energy-Dispersive XRF Spectrometer

The Skyray EDX6000C is a next-generation energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer designed for rapid, accurate, and non-destructive elemental analysis across a wide range of industries. It combines an electrically cooled silicon drift detector (SDD), an intelligent analysis system, and optional automated multi-sample chambers to support efficient laboratory testing.

With vacuum and helium measurement capabilities, the EDX6000C is designed to analyze light elements as well as heavier elements in solid and liquid samples. Its intelligent software can identify sample materials and select suitable analytical curves automatically, helping simplify routine measurements.
