Amptek, Inc., is a recognized world leader in the design and manufacture of state-of-the-art X-ray and gamma ray detectors, preamplifiers, instrumentation, and components for portable instruments, laboratories, satellites, and analytical purposes. These products provide the user with high performance and high reliability together with small size and low power.
X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), direct spectral measurements, EDS XRF, PIXE, and TXRF.
Amptek serves wherever X-ray detection is used; for example, hand-held and table-top XRF analyzers produced by OEMs; research facilities in universities, commercial enterprises and the military; nuclear medicine; space; museums; environmental monitoring; and geological analysis of soils and minerals.
Amptek recently brought silicon wafer manufacturing in-house and improved the process. The results are detectors with lower noise, lower leakage current, better charge collection, and uniformity from detector to detector.
The FAST SDD® represents Amptek's highest performance silicon drift detector (SDD), capable of count rates over 1,000,000 CPS (counts per second) while maintaining excellent resolution. The FAST SDD® is also available with our Patented C-Series (Si3N4) low energy windows for soft X-ray analysis.
Amptek has developed a 70 mm2 FAST SDD® Detector in a TO-8 package. This is the same package that is used with all Amptek detectors. This makes the 70 mm2 a drop-in replacement (same package, same pin-out, same voltages). Triple the count rate versus the 25 mm2 SDD with the same performance.
Also offering improved performance are Amptek's SDD and Si-PIN detectors.
Amptek detectors are offered in a wide range of configurations with their Preamplifiers and Digital Pulse Processors (DPP) for complete XRF portable solutions.

Combining SERS and Machine Learning to Advance Single-Cell Analysis
December 13th 2024Researchers from Stanford University have combined surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with machine learning (ML) to enable rapid, precise single-cell analysis, offering potentially transformative applications in diagnostics and personalized medicine.
Applications and Theories of FTIR and UV-Vis Spectroscopy
December 12th 2024Light is utilized in a wide range of spectroscopic techniques and practices to gain a variety of information about materials and chemicals. These analyses can include material/chemical identification, quantitative analysis, quality control/quality assurance testing, and biological studies, among other applications. Applications, along with sample handling for both FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, will be outlined in this paper.
