MESA-50K

X-Ray Fluorescence Analyzer

In order to meet RoHS/ELV and to analyze hazardous elements, HORIBA has offered the X-ray Fluorescence Analyzer XGT-1000WR series. Since 2002, 1000 units have been used all over the world for these applications to meet the critical needs from our customers to analyze the sample without cutting it. In 2012, an intuitive MESA-50 X-ray Fluorescence Analyser was released. It became every popular in a very short amount of time, and in 2013 a new type of MESA-50 with a big sample chamber has been added to the MESA-50 series. It is equipped with the sophisticated LN2-free detector. As/Sb analysis function and Multilayer Film FPM are available as options.

We introduce a fast and non-destructive method for Pt catalyst loading mass determination in catalyst sheet of proton exchange membrane fuel cell using a benchtop EDXRF analyzer. We made a calibration curve by analyzing multiple in-house samples with different Pt loading masses (0.052 - 0.39 mg/cm2) and determined catalyst loading mass of a sample using the curve. Our result showed that the curve had a good linearity and that the calculated result was consistent with the labeled value of the sample with good repeatability.
