Petra® MAX

Rapid sulfur measurement plus 12 other critical elements.

Benefits and features

Advanced detection performance over traditional XRF technology
Precise sulfur measurements with an LOD as low as 5.7 ppm and rapid monitoring of critical elements
Easy to use - just plug in and measure
Petra MAX is powered by XOS’ EDXRF technology: an elemental analysis technique that offers significantly enhanced detection performance over traditional XRF. This technique applies state-of-the-art monochromating and focusing optics, enabling a dramatically higher signal-to-background ratio compared to traditional polychromatic X-ray Fluorescence

Our laboratory recently acquired the XOS Petra® MAX analyzer, and its integration alongside our existing ICP analyzer has proven to be highly advantageous. The analytical capabilities of the Petra MAX for various elements are on par with ICP technology, eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming sample preparation procedures that previously hindered our operational efficiency. Since implementing the Petra MAX, our lab technicians' productivity has significantly increased, leading to substantial cost savings, all while maintaining the highest standards of result quality.
