CX-9900 Portable Direct-Reading Optical Emission Spectrometer

Product Introduction
The CX-9900 Portable Optical Emission Spectrometer is designed for on-site metal alloy identification, elemental composition analysis, and material quality control. Featuring a laboratory-derived Paschen–Runge optical system adapted for portable use, it combines full-spectrum CCD detection, a high-performance digital spark source, and intelligent calibration technology in a compact, rugged instrument.
With a stated spectral coverage extending from the ultraviolet to the visible region, the CX-9900 supports analysis of major alloying elements and selected trace elements in iron-, aluminum-, copper-, zinc-, nickel-, magnesium-, and lead-based materials. Interchangeable spark and arc excitation options support accurate alloy analysis as well as rapid material identification and sorting.
Its portable design, optional battery pack, flexible sample fixtures, and intuitive Windows-based software make it suitable for field testing, incoming material inspection, metal recycling, and analysis of large metal components that are difficult to cut or transport to a laboratory.

Performance Features
• Laboratory-Grade Optical System: Uses a Paschen–Runge configuration with a 350 mm Rowland circle radius, adapted for portable operation.
• Full-Spectrum CCD Detection: Multiple high-performance linear-array sensors cover the specified analytical wavelength ranges for multi-element analysis.
• Dual Excitation Options: Supports spark excitation for quantitative alloy analysis, including carbon, and arc excitation for material identification and sorting.
• Specialized Trace Element Analysis: An optional dedicated optical system supports analysis of phosphorus, sulfur, boron, tin, and arsenic in steel.
• Rapid Source Switching: Plug-in interfaces enable convenient conversion between spark and arc excitation.
• Tool-Free Electrode and Fixture Replacement: Accommodates samples of different shapes and sizes, including pipes, wires, and small specimens.
• ICAL Intelligent Calibration: Helps compensate for environmental changes and reduces the need for recalibration when the measurement location or temperature changes.
• APF Automatic Program Selection: Automatically identifies the sample matrix and selects a suitable analytical program to streamline unknown-alloy testing.
• Optional Battery Power: The optional battery pack supports hundreds of excitations per charge, depending on operating conditions.
• Portable Trolley Design: An integrated trolley improves mobility and operating convenience, with a separable design for transportation.
• Expandable Analytical Programs: New analytical matrices and elements can be added through software updates without necessarily changing the hardware.
• Multiple Interfaces: Supports USB, printer, display, and network connectivity for data management and reporting.

Working Principle
The CX-9900 uses optical emission spectrometry (OES) to determine the elemental composition of metals and alloys.
First, the sample surface is prepared to provide a clean, representative analytical area. The instrument applies spark or arc excitation to the sample, generating a plasma in which the sample's constituent elements are excited. As excited atoms and ions return to lower energy states, they emit light at characteristic wavelengths.
The Paschen–Runge optical system separates the emitted light by wavelength, and the CCD detector arrays record the resulting spectral signals. The software identifies characteristic emission lines and calculates elemental concentrations using the appropriate calibration curves and analytical programs.
The APF software can assist with sample matrix identification and analytical program selection, while ICAL supports instrument calibration stability. Together, these functions enable rapid alloy identification, quantitative composition analysis, and material sorting in laboratory or field environments.
