XRD Microscope & ASC-6
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM),Division of Solid Minerals have an requirement to replace a old and severely malfunctioning Rigaku brand desktop powder x-ray diffractometer (XRD) that has been in use at the BLM National Mineral Testing Laboratory (NMTL) in Worland, Wyoming for more than two decades. The current instrument is no longer repairable. BLM intend to Sole Source this requirement to the Rigaku Americas Corporation.
The following Items will be purchased:
1. MiniFlex 600 X-ray Diffractometer - Part # 2005L301
The MiniFlex 600 is the fastest and most powerful benchtop x-ray
diffraction system in the world. It is very flexible and may be
equipped with a choice of detectors, slits, optional
monochromator, and optional automatic sample changer and
sample spinner stages. Its compact and powerful 600W x-ray
generator provides the highest intensity in a compact benchtop
XRD system. The MiniFlex 600 can be configured to be optimized
to examine a broad range of samples and fit into any laboratory
space. Minimal installation requirements allow the system to be
installed virtually anywhere. Rigaku first introduced the MiniFlex as the world's
first benchtop XRD system in 1979. After more than 30 years, Rigaku has
installed over 1000 systems worldwide. With proven performance
and reliability, the MiniFlex is making happy users around the
world. The system features: 600W X-ray Generator
Highest Power Generator in a Benchtop XRD
High-frequency, 0.60 kW (40 kV and 15 mA)
Power requirements: 115V, 60 Hz, single phase, 10 A.
X-ray tube take-off angle: 6°
Electronic display panel showing generator and detector
electronics status.
Interlocked radiation enclosure with X-ray ON lamp.
1.3 kW Air-Cooled Heat Exchanger, Highly Reliable Goniometer
