BTX III Benchtop XRD Analyzer

BTX III Benchtop XRD Analyzer

• The BTX III X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyzer provides fast, reliable quantitative mineralogy of major and minor components in a compact, benchtop design
• The BTX III analyzer features a unique small sample holder to provide a lightweight and virtually maintenance-free alternative to conventional XRD. This standalone instrument runs without the need for compressed gas, water cooling, a secondary chiller, or external transformer, keeping the cost of ownership low. Operators can directly connect the XRD instrument to any device using Ethernet or wireless capability.
• Our XRD tools are powered by intuitive SwiftMin® software to streamline your workflow with a single dashboard, preset calibrations, easy data export, and automatic data transfer.

Increased Speed and Sensitivity Power Swift Decisions

• Powerful, intuitive software is paired with improved X-ray detectors for enhanced sensitivity, faster analysis times, and more reliable results.

• Updated X-ray detector hardware runs faster and offers more intensity, leading to lower limits of detection (LODs)
• SwiftMin® automated phase ID and quantitative software provides real-time data directly on the XRD analyzer, so you can make decisions quickly and with confidence.

Easy Sample Prep

• Conventional XRD instruments require a large batch of sample to be finely ground and pressed into a pellet to ensure a sufficiently random orientation of the crystals.
• In contrast, the TERRA II analyzer’s small vibrating sample holder convects all particles within the sample chamber, ensuring that data is virtually free of orientation effects. As a result, only 15 mg of sample is required, easily obtained using the supplied sample kit.

Applications

Mining & Ores

Iron-Rich Ores: Analyze iron-rich ore even when certain phases are completely absent.

• Quartz
• Hematite
• Goethite
• Magnetite

Potash: Analyze potash for phase identification and semiquantitative analysis of identified minerals, including:

• Sylvite
• Halite
• Langbenite
• Leonite

Limestone & Cement: Easily perform quantitative XRD analysis of common minerals associated with limestone. When the quarry contains various levels of dolomite, the analyzer quickly determines this mineral in the range of 0.5% to 9% with an error of only 0.02%.

• Alpha-quartz
• Asbestos minerals
• Calcite
• Dolomite

Oil & Gas

Well Logging/Mud Logging: Perform mineral identification and quantification on shale cuttings in the field for rapid feedback at geosteering and horizontal drilling sites. Simplify “chasing the vein” of a given mineral strata.

• Silicates
• Carbonates
• Clays
• Pyrites

Pipelines: The energy sensitive detector enables optimum peak-to-background performance to identify and quantify corrosion materials on pipelines. Simultaneous XRF measurements give rapid identification of elemental constituents.

• Wustite (FeO), hematite (Fe₂O₃), goethite (FeO(OH)), pyrite (FeS₂)
• Calcite (CaCO₃), aragonite (CaCO₃)

Mine Tailings: Easily reanalyze mine tailings to determine mill performance or evaluate historical projects.

Pharmaceutical

• Rapid identification of counterfeit pharmaceuticals
• Fast, nondestructive fingerprinting of drug formulations and precursors
• Test for the presence and quantity of active and inactive foreign or substitute ingredients
• Fast XRD analysis helps ensure patient safety and protects legitimate pharmaceutical manufacturers’ branding
