Powerful Hardware

Achieving the energy-efficient and compact optical design, the MESA-50 features a high-performance Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) for more excellent sensitivity and performance comparable to conventional benchtop EDXRF analyzers. It works without the need of vacuum pump and reduces running costs.

  • Powerful X-ray generator: Up to 50 kV, 200 μA, 10 W with Pd target
  • Multiple Primary X-ray filters: Enhance S/N by cutting off background
  • Switchable multi-collimators: Selectable down to 1.2 mm up to 7 mm
  • Silicon drift detector: Achieve high performance without liquid nitrogen

        Optional Software Modules

        1. RoHS module
          The RoHS module allows user to perform RoHS screening analysis and halogen screening analysis by just one click a button. The module offers built in workflow which enables automatic sequential measurement without special skill and knowledge of user.
        2. As/Sb module
          The As/Sb module is an additional module to the RoHS module. The module can determine As and Sb concentration using the built in parameters. The module can export a report which include the result of As and Sb.
        3. Multilayer FPM module
          The multilayer FPM module is an optional software for thickness calculation. The software calculates the layer thickness of a multilayer sample using user defined layer modeling. It allows users to get layer thickness result even without standard samples.

             *MESA-50 software can calculate thickness without the optional software module if it is based on calibration curve method.

        Reverse Engineering : Investigation on the Material Trends in Lithium-ion Battery
        Reverse Engineering : Investigation on the Material Trends in Lithium-ion Battery
        We obtained lithium-ion battery cells from 3 different commercial electric vehicles manufactured by an automotive company for the reverse engineering investigation. We disassembled and analyzed each of the cathode sheets, the anode sheets, and the separator sheets using multiple analytical instruments.
        Pt Loading Mass Determination of PEMFC Catalyst Sheet Using a Benchtop EDXRF Analyzer
        Pt Loading Mass Determination of PEMFC Catalyst Sheet Using a Benchtop EDXRF Analyzer
        We introduce a fast and non-destructive method for Pt catalyst loading mass determination in catalyst sheet of proton exchange membrane fuel cell using a benchtop EDXRF analyzer. We made a calibration curve by analyzing multiple in-house samples with different Pt loading masses (0.052 - 0.39 mg/cm2) and determined catalyst loading mass of a sample using the curve. Our result showed that the curve had a good linearity and that the calculated result was consistent with the labeled value of the sample with good repeatability.
        Non-destructive Thickness and Composition Analysis of Coatings on Steel Using MESA-50
        Non-destructive Thickness and Composition Analysis of Coatings on Steel Using MESA-50
        Steel coating plays an important role in preventing corrosion of steel samples. Therefore, an understanding of coatings can help in improving the steel properties. XRF is a powerful technique for measuring thickness and composition of coatings. We carried out non-destructive thickness and composition analysis of Zinc-Nickel coating on steel using the MESA-50 X-ray fluorescence analyzer.
