MSCL-XRF high-resolution XRF core scanner

Geotek Company Introduction:

Geotek, a British company, is the designer and manufacturer of the world's best-selling core equipment MSCL (Multi Sensor Core Logger Core Comprehensive Testing System, also known as Multi Parameter Core Scanner). Almost every laboratory engaged in core research work in the world (scientific research, engineering exploration, oil drilling, etc.) has installed MSCL, with over 220 users. MSCL has very stable, reliable, and durable performance, suitable for both laboratory and field use. It has been widely used in core libraries, geological key laboratories, temporary field laboratories, offshore survey ships, deep-sea drilling ships, and engineering ships around the world. Geotek is the most commonly used core analysis equipment by scientists. Wherever there are rock cores on Earth, there are Geotek products.

High resolution XRF core scanner

MSCL-XRF

MSCL-XRF is one of the 10 MSCLs in the MSCL (Multi Sensor Core Logger Core Comprehensive Testing System, also known as Multi Parameter Core Scanner) series produced by GEOTEK in the UK (see product list above).

The above MSCL-XRF can perform high-resolution XRF chemical element scanning, high-definition optical surface scanning (visible light imaging and ultraviolet fluorescence imaging), color spectrum scanning, and point magnetization measurement

MSCL is currently the most widely used core scanner in the international scientific research and engineering fields, with over 220 users worldwide! Geotek has been providing core scanning equipment to scientists worldwide for over 20 years. MSCL is currently the world's most comprehensive integrated system for core geophysical and chemical properties testing, applied to seabed sediment column samples, lake sediment column samples, rock cores, and more. The characteristic of MSCL is that it does not damage the sample, and multiple measurements are synchronized, fast, accurate, efficient, and fully automated. The maximum 10 parameters that can be measured include: P-wave velocity, gamma density, resistivity, magnetization, color spectrum, natural gamma radiation, surface high-definition optical imaging, high-resolution XRF element concentration, hyperspectral imaging, visible light and near-infrared ground spectra, etc. Customers can freely choose according to their own needs. Different MSCLs have different structures and can directly measure the entire rock core stored in plastic pipes, as well as measure cut open rock cores. Some measurements can be made through aluminum or stainless steel materials, but generally speaking, measurements made through plastic have better results. The multi model MSCL configuration has many advantages, which can be measured for different rock cores, operating conditions, and occasions to achieve the best results. MSCL has very stable, reliable, and durable performance, suitable for both laboratory and field use. It has been widely used in core libraries, geological key laboratories, temporary field laboratories, offshore survey ships, deep-sea drilling ships, and engineering ships around the world.

The above figure shows the MSCL-XYZ multi core scanning workstation equipped with high-resolution XRF, which can simultaneously measure up to 9m of sliced rock cores

At the end of 2013, after nearly 5 years of research and extensive testing work, the world's most advanced core XRF scanning system MSCL-XRF was officially launched on the market. In addition to high-resolution XRF chemical element scanning, it can also integrate 5 other sensors simultaneously, including high-definition optical linear scanning imaging (optional UV fluorescence imaging), color spectroscopy, near-infrared terrain spectroscopy, point magnetization, and hyperspectral imaging. Another attraction of MSCL-XRF to scientists is its extremely high cost performance ratio. The data quality of XRF is significantly better than similar devices, but the price is lower.

Advantages of Geotek's new XRF sensor:

1. Design of X-ray tube, optical, detector for best performance: 5 years of research and development, with a new spatial structure design that brings the best measurement results

2. Price advantage 性能最强，但价格最适中！

3. Improved and market leading detection limits have greatly increased the detection limit, significantly higher than peers

4. Lowest level of spectral contamination and artefacts - very clean low background spectra Bloom 效应最小，背景噪音最低

5. Improved light element detection as seen with Mg sensitivity figure. The sensitivity of lighter elements is significantly improved (such as Mg)

6. Better geometry with closer coupling of source and detector geometry in relation to the sample giving faster signal collection New spatial structure, X source and XRF detector are very close to the sample, resulting in significantly improved data quality and scanning speed

7. Much lower power requirements for X-ray source giving longer life and higher stability The lowest power consumption X-ray tube has a longer lifespan (over 10000 hours, which is 2 or 5 times that of its peers), better stability, and does not require water cooling

8. Higher reliability, lower service costs over lifetime stability, with the lowest operating and maintenance costs for 3 to 10 years

9. New software features which will give faster “on the fly” analysis, data and results Brand new software that provides immediate analysis results and has the fastest scanning and analysis speed

10. New and unique algorithms and quantitive analysis models for more accurate analysis A brand new exclusive algorithm that can analyze elements more accurately

11. No post measurement data processing required. No complex post-processing is needed

12. Better integration with other measurement techniques 与其他4～10种传感器集成
