XRF Testing

         X-ray fluorescence (XRF) or XRF testing allows non-destructive analysis of a wide variety of samples and materials for the minerals and metals. XRF testing is to determine the elemental composition of the samples that are difficult or impossible to analyze by conventional techniques. The field portable XRF can analyze samples that are large or a combination of materials such as electronic maps or water on the spot without damaging the sample.

         The analysis of the XRF testing (X-ray fluorescence), X-rays is in the sample absorbs X-rays and re-emits them back to a process called fluorescence. The re-emitted X-ray energy, wavelengths, and the amount are representative and proportional to the elemental composition of the sample. Lab XRF core is capable of analyzing light elements such as fluorine, atomic weight of uranium to 9 (92). Normally, the heavier the element, the sensitivity of the XRF best subjects. The analysis of the X-ray fluorescence, X-rays is in the sample, is absorbed by the sample, and then sent back again in a process called fluorescence. The X-ray fluorescence is then measured by the analyzer.

          By eliminating the need to dissolve, digest or extract of the sample, the accuracy and speed of analysis are greatly improved for the analysis of minerals and metals and metal alloys, raw materials, ceramics, glass, plastics and polymers and formulated products. These features of laboratory X-ray fluorescence analyzer with a range of analysis of low ppm levels to 100%, making the technique very suitable for quality control testing on key components of a material and the determination of impurities. 

          The laboratory based XRF is complemented by Field Portable XRF analyzer. This type of unit allows for rapid screening of consumer products for lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury. The portability and small size makes it possible to go where the sample or placed on larger samples. Various locations along a sample can be quickly achieved.
