X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) is a powerful analytical technique that is able to measure a wide range of elemental concentrations (F through U) in trace and major element concentrations (analytical range is from a few parts per million to 100 %g/g).
At Sci-Ba we offer specialised XRF consultation services for all types (WD-/ED-, stand-alone, bench-top and handhelds), brands and models of XRF equipment. Our services include:
- New XRF laboratory set-up or critical XRF systems management
- Calibration and validation services (ISO/IEC 17025 compliant)
- Non-standard method development for customised analytical requirements (especially useful for mines, processing plants and refineries) (ISO/IEC 17025 compliant)
- Estimation of uncertainty
- Comparison of XRF to other techniques (e.g. AA or ICP)
- Development of internal standards and certified reference materials (CRMs) necessary for calibration and validation
- Calibration management including calibration updates (usually annual or biannual, and needed after servicing)
- 24-hour remote login services for trouble shooting and emergency work
- Training courses (sample preparation, basic and advanced XRF)
- XRF Laboratory optimisation
- Trouble shooting and root cause analysis to identify the largest sources of error in a laboratory
- Estimation of uncertainty
- Sample preparation optimisation (drying, splitting, crushing, milling and homogeneity, decreasing contamination, fusion versus pressed pellets)
- Quality Management System (QMS)
- Quality control assessments
