What we test for – What XRF analyzers can detect

Filed under: About the business, Technology — Tags: , , , — Seth Goldberg @ 9:15 am

Are you curious about your surroundings?  Are you a scientist at heart, curious about the elemental makeup of things? If so, XRF analyzers are a great tool to use for detecting a variety of elements. 

You can almost consider an XRF analyzer a hand-held mass spectrometer.  Using our XRF analyzers we can detect a range of elements from 15 to 94 on the periodic chart.  The software that is part of the I-Pac on the analyzer is capable of identifying 27 elements including:

Antimony, Arsenic, Barium, Bismuth, Bromine, Calcium, Cadmium, Chlorine, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Gold, Iron, Lead, Manganese, Mercury, Molybdenum, Nickel, Selenium, Silver, Strontium, Tin, Titanium, Tungsten, Vanadium, Zinc, Zirconium

Our proprietary software has the ability to identify all elements in the range of 15-94 on the periodic chart.
 
XRF is a perfect tool for non-destructively identifying elements, specifically heavy metals, easily, efficiently, economically, and accurately. 

Think of all the different industries that XRF can be used to help improve lives and create jobs.
