Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this category and how Wirsam can help.
EDXRF (energy dispersive) is faster and more affordable, suited to routine elemental QC. WDXRF (wavelength dispersive) offers superior spectral resolution for demanding applications like low-level sulphur in cement or trace analysis in metals.
Wirsam supplies the Rigaku NEX QC Series for rapid on-site elemental screening, the NEX DE for high-sensitivity trace analysis, and the ZSX Primus IV sequential WDXRF for benchmark laboratory analysis.
Yes. Wirsam is the authorised Rigaku distributor and service partner in Southern Africa, providing installation, operator training, preventive maintenance, and repair services from our Johannesburg and Cape Town workshops.
