X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) instruments work by exposing a sample to be measured to a beam of X-rays. The atoms of the sample absorb energy from the X-rays, become temporarily excited and then emit secondary X-rays. Each chemical element emits x-rays at a unique energy. By measuring the intensity and characteristic energy of the emitted X-rays, an XRF analyser can provide qualitative and quantitative analysis regarding the composition of the material being tested.
Oxford Instruments offers a complete line of both hand-held and benchtop XRF analysers.
X-MET hand-held XRF analysers are specifically designed for positive material identification, alloy analysis and identification and hazardous material analysis (RoHS). These analysers are also used to analyse heavy metals in soil on polluted lands and ore at mining sites.
X-Supreme8000, Lab-X and MDX1000 XRF laboratory analysers span the price/performance range for routine chemical analysis. From Sulfur in petroleum products to the analysis of limestone, we can match exactly the correct spectrometer to your needs with the broadest range of instruments available in the industry.
