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).

  • Aluminum to Uranium

Applications:

  • Semiconductors and Electronics (e.g. Integrated circuit (IC), LED, Pins, etc.)
  • Environmental Analysis (e.g. soil, sand, plant leaves, etc.)
  • Metallurgy and Mining (e.g. Coating, Alloy, Gold, etc.)
  • Polymers (e.g. plastics, packaging, toys, etc.)

Sample Types and Requirements:

  • Solid – Min Size: 1.2mm (Millimeters)
  • Liquid – 5mg (Milligrams)
  • Powder – 5g (Grams)

Equipment used:

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) Analysis

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) analysis is a characterization technique with a resolution that can measure in fractions of a nanometer. It is one of the most important techniques for imaging on the nanometer scale and has the advantage of imaging almost any type of surface, including polymers, ceramics, composites, glass, and biological samples.

Energy Dispersive X-ray Nanoanalysis (EDX)

Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX) or (EDS) Analysis is a characterization technique that can be used to find the chemical composition of materials down to a spot size of a few microns, and to create element composition maps over a much broader raster area. Together, these capabilities provide fundamental compositional information for a wide variety of materials.
