FeniX

Miniature benchtop XRD/XRF instrument

Fenix is a NextGen miniature benchtop X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument for fast and easy characterization of powdered samples.

The Fenix technology traces its lineage to the XRD/XRF instrument deployed on Mars in the NASA Curiosity rover. It brings unprecedented miniaturization and ruggedness to the analytical instrument market.

For routine analyses, Fenix offers unique advantages over conventional XRD instruments:

small footprint for benchtop use
Transportability
Low power
user friendliness

Fenix is equally at home in a conventional laboratory, in a mobile laboratory, or in the field.

Power is provided by a laptop style AC adapter or an optional Lithium power station when AC is not available. A PC (Windows or Linux) connected via USB provides all controls with a new intuitive application.
