Shimadzu: Compliant with RoHS / ELV directives: Released EDX-7200

-Evolved to be faster, more sensitive and easier to use-

Shimadzu:

On October 7, the energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analyzer “EDX-7200” was released at the same time in Japan and overseas.

“EDX-7200”:

Analysis speed is up to 3 times faster than the conventional model “EDX-7000”.

Analytical sensitivity is improved up to 1.7 times.

Analysis of harmful elements contained in electronic components and
For applications such as impurity analysis of pharmaceuticals
It is a product that meets the needs of our customers.

Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analyzer:

Irradiate the sample with X-rays and analyze the energy (wavelength) and intensity of the generated fluorescent X-rays.

A device for investigating the types and contents of elements that make up a sample.

Non-destructive elemental analysis:

The feature is that elemental analysis can be performed from various samples such as solids, powders, and liquids in a non-destructive manner.

Compliant with RoHS / ELV directives:

It corresponds to the RoHS / ELV directive.

Electronic equipment / automobile manufacturers,
Parts supplier,
Acceptance of raw materials,
Inspection at the time of shipment of the finished product,
In addition to quality control

It is used in various fields such as quality assurance of various parts.

again,

In addition to complying with various regulations
Material composition that makes the best use of high sensitivity,
It is also used for impurity analysis and research and development.

Tightening of environmental regulations:

In addition to regulated substances
Additional inspection requests from business partners and
The demand for foreign body analysis is increasing.

In the past, it was necessary to set optimal analysis conditions for each element of non-regulated substances.

“Screening analysis kit” can detect various elements at once.

Hazardous substance regulation: Target elements are expanding

After 2022, Cl and Sb will be regulated by the RoHS Directive, and P will be regulated by the US TSCA.

Shimadzu:

The new X-ray fluorescence analyzer supports P and Sn.

Hazardous substance legislation

Pb (lead) by ELV directive,
Br (bromine) by RoHS directive,
It was a big close-up.
After that, the regulated elements are expanding.

Regulations after 2022:

RoHS Directive-
Cl and Sb are expected to be regulated.

US TSCA-
P is expected to join the regulation.

IEC 62321-3-1
In addition, IEC 62321-3-1 is an international standard for regulated elemental analysis methods using fluorescent X-ray analyzers.

After 2022, Cl, Sb, Sn and P will be added, calling for broader hazardous substance regulations.

REACH regulation
Correspondence between Sn and P will be required.
