Extract

Over the past 30 years, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry has become one of the more valuable methods for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of materials. Today, there are many methods of instrumental analysis available, and among the factors that will be taken into account in the method of selection are:

  1. - Accuracy

  2. - Range of application

  3. - Speed

  4. - Sensitivity

  5. - Reliability

No one technique can provide all of the features that a given analyst requires. XRF does offer good overall performance over the widest range of elements. Speed, accuracy, and versatility are among the features that have made XRF the method of choice for over 15,000 laboratories worldwide.
