Revontium™: Compact XRF Spectrometer

The Revontium™ X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer provides high-quality elemental analysis in a small tabletop format. It combines the capabilities of floor-standing XRF with the versatility of tabletop devices. Compact XRF has a small physical and environmental footprint. Its cost of ownership is25% lower due to less consumables, comprehensive sample preparation, and maintenance.

Overview

Accuracy That Lasts

Experts in elemental analysishave to choose between speed and extremely precise results. Due to slow feedback loops, a conflict emerged between sufficiently detailed and usable data.

Revontium allows users to account for every signal in their XRF spectrum, owing to meticulous design and high-quality hardware and software components.

Ultimate Efficiency

Historically, elemental analyzers struggled to meet the demands of an ambitious laboratory. Design constraints frequently caused lengthy delays in sample preparation.

Users can expect quick, high-quality results while using Revontium. High sample throughput, quick analysis, and prompt feedback are all features of the instrument’s design.

Several elements also help to reduce downtime. If one of Revontium’s detectors fails, the system will continue functioning with three, two, or even just one. Monitoring using services such as Smart Manager enables users to swiftly resolve any issues.

Lower Cost of Ownership

The cost of owning a spectrometer includes continuous maintenance, consumables, and training.

Revontium’s total cost of ownership is more than 25% cheaper than wavelength-dispersive XRF (WDXRF), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), or Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (ICP).

Revontium can be used in the air, minimizing the requirement for consumables like acids and high-purity gases. It does not require daily calibration, a chiller, or additional infrastructure. Overall, this results in moretime available for real analysis.

Full Flexibility

If multiple types of samples are used, Revontium can handle nearly every XRF application.

The Omnian software option works with every kind of sample, and users can assess both liquids and solids in the same batch of samples.

A Smaller Environmental Footprint

Reducing the environmental effect of the operations is undoubtedly on everyone’s mind, regardless of the business. Due toits eco-friendly features, revontium power consumption is only 0.2 kWh. This contrasts with the standard WDXRF, which uses 2kWh, despite having a touchscreen and an integrated computer.

Ease-of-Use

Users can use Revontium's productwithease so that they can concentrate entirely on their analytical job.

It has large touch keys, an intuitive overview display, and a 15-inch touchscreen, all contributingto a smooth and flawless operating experience. The cutting-edge SuperQ software allows users to quickly set up as many applications as they need, and the built-in monitor will automatically update them.

Key Applications

Academia

Malvern Panalytical XRF instruments are noted for their precision and adaptability, making them ideal for research control environments. Easy-to-use features make method creation easy for those transitioning between techniques while maintaining scientific rigor. High-quality components make analysis simple and comprehensive, prioritizing accuracy over rapid measurements.

Batteries

Malvern Panalytical’s new Certified Reference Materials enable manufacturers to quickly evaluate battery performance and trace materials to established standards.

Building Materials

Revontium allows users to measure ordinary building materials in as little as 10 minutes and analyze up to 12 pressed cement powder samples every hour. It shortens the feedback loop in the manufacturing facility and minimizes operating costs while providing strong, high-quality data comparable to floor-standing WDXRF spectrometers.

Environmental Monitoring

Revontium can analyze 44 components in air filters in around 30 minutes. The instrument’s simple touchscreen allows for easy switching between analyses. Thanks to advanced sample management, it is feasible to test 32 air filter samples in a single batch.

Food/Non-Food

Revontium compact XRF is a non-destructive technique ideal for process control in food, animal feed, and cosmetics industries. Samples are not damaged when heated at 0.2 kWh. XRF operates directly on samples and requires no acids or gases to prepare them.

Metals

Revontium uses high-quality components to examine ferrous and nonferrous metals. With extra software upgrades (TALOS), the compact XRF instrument also enablesmulti-layer analysis.

Mining and Minerals

Ore analysis frequently takes place in remote, challenging areas. Revontium's compact XRF requires no additional infrastructure or cooling, making it ideal for high-quality lab or pit analysis.

Petrochemicals

Revontium compact XRF performs direct analysis of liquid samples without the need for preparation. Thanks to its careful design, users can measure liquids without worrying about spillage within the instrument. Revontium offers a completely adaptable system for the analysis of oils, fuels, and catalyst powders.

Pharmaceuticals

Revontium is idealfor pharmaceutical businesses researching and manufacturing small-molecule pharmaceuticals. It is quick and non-destructive, making it a reliable screening method for the elemental purity of the finished product. Its flexibility and ease of usage make it ideal for various pharmaceutical research applications.

Polymers and Plastics

Polymers and plastics often have distinguishing features. Revontium enables quick analysis without damaging the sample. Unlike ICP technology, XRF operates directly on powder samples, eliminating the need to dissolve them in a liquid. Revontium, unlike wavelength-dispersive XRF, does not soften polymer samples since it operates at just 0.2 kWh.
