Your Quality partner in X-ray analysis

Last update: October, 2009


BIENVENUE CHEZ APC SOLUTIONS SA

Actif sur le marché Suisse depuis 2005, notre laboratoire est spécialisé dans la mesure des composés chimiques dans les matériaux par fluorescence de rayons X. Cette technique de mesure permet d’analyser avec précision des matières difficilement analysable par d’autre technique. Vous pouvez consulter nos prestations dans le menu "laboratoire".
NOUVEAU

Toute personne qui désire valoriser ses bijoux, neuf ou anciens, peut nous contacter pour obtenir un certificat d’analyse. Les matières analysées ne subissent aucune dégradation et sont restituées dans le même état. Prix fixe de 30.- par analyse.

OMEGA XPRESS
Breakthrough Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) Technology for challenging elemental separation in specialty alloys & super alloys
SDD’s are a silicon-based detector. They offer three substantial performance benefits over PiN’s
  • Better resolution,
  • Can sustain higher count rates up to 10X of PiN’s and maintain the resolution
  • lower “peak to tail” background.
All other factors the same, an SDD can run in the 150 eV range for resolution whereas PiN’s rarely do better than 175 eV in real world situations.
PiN diodes can only handle about 10k-15k counts per second (cps) before serious spectral degradation begins namely loss of resolution, high backgrounds, peak shifts, etc. An SDD can handle up to 100k cps without such problems.
LITRAP14

FOR ANALYSIS OF OIL, SLUDGE AND WASTE MATERIAL
Liquid analyses by XRF are usually made using special liquid cups covered by a thin film. The fear by using these cups is the break of the thin film containing the liquid. An other problem encountered when measuring organic materials is the evaporation happening through the ventilation hole of the cup. All of these difficulties can be overcome by using our NEW LITRAP14.
Only a small amount of liquid is used (0.2g) which is totally absorbed by the LITRAP14. It can be used in both vacuum or under Helium flush. No need for the thin film (allowing therefore Fluorine analysis).
This wonder LITRAP14 is priced at same level than liquid cups with the advantage of avoiding risks inherent of the liquid to fell on the X-ray tube and the detector.
Please, ask for our application report.
FIELD PORTABLE XRD/XRF INSTRUMENT

   "Terra", is the first truly portable combination XRF/XRD system designed specifically for rock and mineral analysis. Now “field work” can really be done in the field. Terra can be configured with everything you need to acquire and analyze diffraction data in a rugged compact case. With our patented sample handling system not only is sample preparation time minimized but accuracy in peak identification previously only available using laboratory based systems can be achieved.
XRD is the technique of choice for accurate identification of minerals, while XRF adds elemental information frequently essential for accurate phase ID. XRD data from Terra can be readily analyzed using the software of a laboratory XRD instrument, or third party applications like Jade (MDI), XPowder, Match! (Crystal Impact), CrystalSleuth (Univ. of Arizona),
