Description

STATEMENT OF WORK 1. Objective/Requirements The NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) requires the procurement of a Rigaku Supermini 200 Benchtop Spectrometer. 2. Characteristics, Scope, and Specs LINE PART NO. DESCRIPTION QTY. 1 A00012256 Supermini200 High Powered Benchtop Wavelength- Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer The Supermini200 is the world’s first high powered benchtop wavelength-dispersive (WD) XRF spectrometer available. The Supermini200 provides superior sensitivity and spectral resolution resulting in low levels of detection with excellent precision and accuracy for elemental analysis from Fluorine to Uranium on the Periodic Table of Elements. Simple operation and low cost of ownership provided in a compact benchtop cabinet. • Benchtop Cabinet, 580(W)× 640mm(D)× 630mm(H), 98kg • High Frequency X-ray Generator • High Precision Goniometer with Temperature Stabilizer • Flow-Proportional Counter (F-PC) Detector • Scintillation Counter (SC) Detector • Helium Gas Flush Attachment • Windows Based Applications Software Including: Subkit for Supermini200 (SUPERMINI200-SUBKIT) • P-10 Gas Regulator (8-350) • X-ray Warning Signs (INS-XRAY-SIGNS) • Radiation Safety Handbook (HANDBOOK, NBS 111) • Periodic Table of Elements (PERIODIC TABLE) • Sample Setting Jig Helium Gas Regulator (8L-580) Included with A00012256 - 200 Watt End Window X-ray Tube, Pd Target 200 Watt End Window X-ray Tube, Pd Target The Supermini200 has been designed with optimal performance using an air-cooled 200W end window x-ray tube with a Pd target. The 200W x-ray tube results in super sensitivity while remaining a benchtop XRF 1 -- 1 of 6 -- instrument. The tube is positioned below the sample allowing the analysis of solid, liquid, and loose powders (liquid and loose powder samples require helium purge option). No cooling water required. • 50kV, 4.0mA = 200W Power • Pd Target Note: 3 Year warranty needed on X-ray Tube Included with SUPERMINI200: 12-Position Automatic Sample Changer The Supermini200 includes an easy to use bidirectional 12-position automatic sample changer to allow loading of up to 12 samples for unattended measurement. Samples may be added or removed while a sample is in the process of being analyzed. This built-in sample changer provides automation, convenience, and increased sample throughput with minimal user intervention. Sample Spin Capability • Sample spinning (30 revolutions per minute) is provided to improve sampling statistics when required. • Multipurpose Sample Holder with 30mm Mask • (3009B013), Qty 12 • Sample holder to hold any sample type • Holes in sample holder body allow for better dispersion when used in helium atmosphere • 30mm measuring area on sample surface • Maximum sample size = 44mm outer diameter x 33mm thick • Includes Center Rings for Sample Cells 845317G Center Ring for Solid Sample 20mmH, Qty 12 1030232 Sample Prep Kit for Supermini200 - (To be used for liquids, powders and oils) Zr Automatic Primary Beam Filter A single Zr automatic primary beam filter is included to remove the Pd-K spectral lines resulting from the Pd target x-ray tube enabling the analysis of Cd, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, In. 3 Crystal Exchanger Includes: LiF(200) crystal for the analysis of Ti-U PET Crystal for the analysis of Al-Ti RX-26 Multilayer Crystal O - Mg PC-XRF Computer Configuration for X-Ray Fluorescence -- 2 of 6 -- PC Computer for instrument control and data processing. Specifications • Intel CoreTM i7 Processor • 32.0 GB RAM • Dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi with Bluetooth 5 • Internal Audio Speaker • 27” Screen • Dual Monitor Capability • 512 GB Hard Drive, SSD • 8X DVD+/-RW, 9.5 Optical Disk Drive • 4 USB ports, 2 on the front, 2 on back • 6 USB3 ports 2 on the front, 4 on the back • Keyboard, USB 2 Button Scroll Mouse and Pad • Microsoft Windows 11 PRO, 64 bit • MS Office 2021 Home and Business • Adobe Acrobat Reader • Two (2) Ethernet Ports required • 3 yr Basic Limited Warranty, 3 yr NBD On-Site Service from Dell Notes: Above configuration to be provided. Customer to ensure networking capabilities provided to facilitate installation. Includes software integration and testing ZSX Control, Measurement & Analysis Software • EZ Analysis with simplified interface for easy measurement. • EZ Scan where the number of input items are minimized for fast and easy for qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis with SQX software. • Empirical regression analysis (5 matrix correction models) • Fundamental Parameters (FP) Analysis (Bulk/Thin Film) • Programmable "Batch Runs" • Thin Film Software for FP for up to 10 Layers • Automated PHA adjustment • Complete off-line qualitative & quantitative programs • Data transmitting program • Password control to protect sensitive information A00009923 Programmable Operation Software Preset time and intervals for analysis. 301AB009 SQX Software for Semi-Quant Analysis SQX is the most powerful standard less, semi-quantitative analysis software program available. Accurate results are -- 3 of 6 -- obtained by Fundamental Parameters (FP) and an internal Common Library for the full range of measureable elements without the use of standards. • Fundamental Parameters (FP) • No standards required • Scan and fixed angle analysis methods • Common Library of sensitivity factors 3016B010 Includes: • Drift Correction Samples (1 set): DCS-G1 • SQX Matching Library • Improves accuracy for semi-quantitative analysis by matching the unknown sample with standard(s) from a user established Matching Library. • Matching Library automatically searches for the best matched standard and applies matrix corrections for higher accuracy SQX results. 301AB013 SQX Scatter FP Software A new Fundamental Parameter method that uses Compton and Thomson scattered tube spectral line intensities for the accurate determination of the total composition of unmeasured light elements as a whole. This contributes greatly to increased accuracy of semi-quantitative analysis compared to simple balance methods.
