DETECTION LIMITS

Detection limits Avaatech XRF Core Scanner

OPTICAL SYSTEM

Our state-of-the-art fourth-generation AVAATECH Core Scanner comes equipped with the latest variable optical XRF system. With the Avaatech optical system the length and the width of the X-ray beam can be determined independently.

MAG SUSCEPTIBILITY

A Bartington magnetic susceptibility system can be mounted in the XRF Core Scanner. The MS2E high resolution point-sensor has a footprint of 4x10mm.

VISIBLE & UV IMAGING

Avaatech Color Line Scan is applicable for both visual and UV light. The digital Color Line Scan Camera is a tool for recording images of samples and of measuring variations of color intensities along a transect.

MOTORIZED Y-AXIS

The entire source, detector and optical system of the scanner can be moved in the Y-direction with an accuracy of 0.005 mm.

AUTOMATIC CROSS SLIT

Regarding the adjustable slit opening in the Y- (across core) direction, the AVAATECH XRF Core-Scanner can be equipped with a motor-controlled system.

CORE SPLITTER

Our Avaatech Core Cutter is designed for high quality splitting of plastic lined cores. The longitudinal splitting mechanism is fully motorised.

AVAATECH INFO

Founded in 2001, Avaatech is a privately owned corporation that develops, manufactures, installs and services highly specialized scientific equipment and analytical instruments for oceanographic, geological and other related fields of research.

COMPANY INFO

Avaatech was founded by a group of scientists and engineers working at the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), one of the oldest scientific institutes for marine research in the world.

Since 2011 Avaatech is part of Doeschot Group established in 1896.

Today Avaatech is a flexible international company, where everyone involved has years of experience in designing, developing and constructing equipment for scientific and commercial research.

Avaatech scanners are built to order as a single machine based on each clients requirements, allowing the opportunity to implement specific wishes, options and special features. Each scanner's design also aims for silent, safe and easy operation with a minimum of maintenance.

Formalized by a license agreement, Avaatech continues to have close cooperation with the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) and has access to their know-how and when required we collaborate with their scientists and specialists in different fields to receive practical hands-on support to meet our clients demands.

Customer Support is provided by the same people involved in the development and construction of the scanners.

We have three instruments in operation, which are all performing very well and produce highly valuable data essential for key aspects of our research. We are all very happy with all the hardware, software, and the continuous excellent and immediate support provided by the company.
Dr. Ursula Rohl, MARUM, University of Bremen, Bremen, Germany

There have been absolutely no mechanical, electrical or software issues that have led to even a single minute of down-time preventing its use.
Professor Larry C. Peterson, Marine Geology & Geophysics University of Miami, U.S.A.

Now that we've had the instrument in-house for some time, we are getting more and more external requests for the use of the instrument, and our customers are all well pleased with the ease of use, the performance, and the data quality from the measurements.
David J. Houpt, Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Texas A&M University, U.S.A.

The instrument has been performing very well, even while breaking through sea ice in the Arctic Ocean causing strong vibrations... The Avaatech XRF core scanner is a highly reliable instrument that is easy to use. Furthermore, the service provided by Avaatech has been outstanding since the first moment of contact. The few problems that arose during the past years were fixed very quickly. I particularly appreciate the fast and constructive responses on any request.
Matthias Forwick, Department of Geosciences UiT The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø

REQUEST

Thank you for your interest in AVAATECH XRF Core Scanner Technology. We would like to provide you with interesting information. Please fill in the form below and we will contact you as soon as possible.

SUPPORT

Avaatech strives for a permanent interaction with its customers in order to exchange experience and new findings to the mutual benefit of all users of the XRF Core Scanner.

In “support-mode” you get a direct connection to our technical or scientific experts via the Internet (an Internet connection is required). The connection offers a shared desktop, i.e. our experts see the same computer desktop on their computer as you see on the XRF Core Scanner computer. Both users can move the mouse and use the keyboard, and everything happens simultaneously on both computer screens. At the same time we can talk over the phone.

A web camera is supplied with the instrument. It can be used for technical support purpose. It is a very effective tool which allows to solve problems rapidly and remotely, without waiting for a technician to visit your lab.

Evaluation of complicated spectra sets by our scientific experts is also included. Furthermore Avaatech encourages users of the XRF Core Scanner to communicate all subjects regarding the instrument. Technical, analytical or data interpretation issues can always be discussed with our specialists.
