Portable XRF Analyzer & Price List
See many used XRF Analyzer Models and their prices. Here I list the price of a Portable XRF Analyzer (AKA handheld XRF spectrometer) depends on functionality and Brand. Used models can save you as much as 70% over new ones. REVIEW XRF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS BY BRAND: Olympus/Bruker/Niton/Oxford/Spectro Visit our XRF Discussion Forum Olympus offers a variety of […]
XRD Mineralogy & XRF Analysis
I want to start with a basic introduction with the XRD and XRF technology and how they are similar, and how they differ. So, what is X-ray fluorescence? Very simply put, X-ray fluorescence uses an excitation source to excite elements, electrons within an atom. This excitation will eject an electron from its orbital and there […]
Bruker Handheld XRF
This is a general safety information regarding Bruker’s handheld X-ray fluorescence XRF analyzers. Proper training is vital for compliance, safe operation and understanding of the operator’s responsibilities associated with handheld XRF analyzer use. The term radiation is used to describe forms of energy emitted as particles or electromagnetic waves. There are two types of radiation: […]
Gold Testing
There are several supplies that we sell for gold testing and I wanted to give you an overview of the kinds of things that you can expect to use and need and talk about the basics of gold testing. So, what I’ve got in front of me are some beginning supplies. We’ve got our testing […]
Niton XL3T XRF Analyzers
Welcome to a brief handheld XRF positive material Identification Analyzer tutorial. For complete operating and maintenance guidelines, you should always refer to the operator’s manual. These instruments use X-ray fluorescence to allow users to identify the elemental makeup of alloys and numerous other materials, to determine heavy metal content in soils, to look for lead […]
X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy XRF
In X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy an X-ray source is used to irradiate the sample with X-ray radiation. If the energy of this radiation is sufficient, then it will interact with the atom’s inner shell electrons causing them to be kicked out. Almost immediately, a relaxation process takes place where one of the outer shell electrons fall […]
How HandHeld XRF Works
So, most of you who are attending today are affected in some way by regulations of consumer products or hazardous substances in consumer product manufacturing. Today we’ll be giving you two of the big regulations: RoHS and CPSIA. We’ll talk about how as a manufacturer or importer subject to regulation you can set up a […]
XRF X-Ray Fluorescence
X-ray fluorescence or XRF is an analytical technique that has been used for many years to determine the elemental composition of a wide variety of materials. Examples include metal alloys, minerals and petroleum products. X-rays form part of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are on the high energy side of the ultraviolet and are expressed in […]
Principle of XRF & XRD
But first, I want to start with a basic Principle of XRD and XRF technology and how they are similar and how they differ. So, what is X-ray fluorescence? Very simply put, X-ray fluorescence uses an excitation source to excite elements, electrons within an atom. This excitation will eject an electron from its orbital, and […]
XRF Sample Preparation Methods/Procedure
What is x-ray fluorescence and why is XRF sample preparation is important for correct XRF analysis. This is a little introduction to some of our instruments; from left to right we have the X-MET7000 series these hand held analyzers are great for their versatility and portability, the X-Supreme in the middle is used for bulk analysis […]
