X-RAY FLUORESCENCE (XRF)- WAVELENGTH DISPERSIVE

 

This package is designed for analysis of major and trace elements in geological and environmental samples using wavelength dispersive X-Ray fluorescence (XRF). The samples are first run for loss on ignition (LOI) and then fused with a borate flux to produce a glass bead. Also qualitative analysis of elements is carried out using powdered material.

 

Code: *XRF-49
