X-ray fluorescence analysis

X-Ray Fluorescence (FRX) is one of the most used techniques in elemental analysis and is mainly performed to determine the composition of geological materials and metallic alloys. Due to the versatility of this technique, the samples can be analyzed in their own form or processed to create pressed pellets or molten pellets.

We use the Standardless method, also known as the semiquantitative method, for the analysis of unknown samples, making it possible to determine the concentrations of chemical elements between Sodium and Uranium in an ore.

Due to the versatility of this technique, the samples can be analyzed in their own form or processed to create pressed pellets or molten pellets. It is recommended to melt the material into a glass pellet for quantitative analysis because of mineralogical effects. 

It is possible to find out the percentage of precious or non-precious metals that make up a jewelry/an alloy. X-ray fluorescence can also be used to find out if gold or silver alloys have the correct composition.
