X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF)

X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) is an analytical technique that uses x-rays to scan samples in order to determine their elemental composition.

X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) can also be used as a RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substances) screening tool. Kindly see our RoHS Screening Analysis using XRF service (Click Here).

Energy Dispersive X-ray Nanoanalysis (EDX)

Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) is a powerful analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials. By focusing an electron beam onto a sample, EDS detects the characteristic X-rays emitted by each element, allowing for precise identification and quantification.

Key Features of EDS Analysis:

High Precision: Analyze chemical composition down to a spot size of a few microns.
Element Mapping: Create detailed maps showing the distribution of elements over larger areas.
Versatility: Applicable to a wide range of materials, from metals and ceramics to biological samples.
