Benchtop XRF Spectrometer

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is seeking bids for a Benchtop XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) spectrometer. This is an analytical instrument used for non-destructive, simultaneous elemental analysis of materials. It identifies elements by detecting the characteristic energy of X-rays emitted from a sample after excitation, allowing for fast, qualitative, and quantitative analysis of solids, liquids, and powders. The equipment will be used for CCRL (Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory) and AASHTO PSP (Proficiency Sample Program) testing. • The equipment must meet ASTM C114 specifications. • It must have a detector with an energy resolution at Mn K-alpha of <135 eV. • The equipment must be a benchtop XRF, not ARL +XRF. • It must be capable of fused puck testing on cement. • The contract term is a one-time purchase.
