Anderson Materials specializes in XRF Testing Services. Our services focus on determining the elemental composition of materials, providing precise and reliable results. We analyze solid samples, powders, and liquids to identify various elements, from fluorine to uranium, using our state-of-the-art wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (WD-XRF).
Our XRF Testing Services
- Elemental Analysis:
- Precise Measurement: Quantitatively assess elemental concentrations from fluorine to uranium, with very low detection limits. Learn more about our ASTM standard testing using XRF and all of our ASTM testing standards.
- Versatile Sample Types: Analyze solid samples, powders, and liquids.
- Special Capabilities: Measure carbon and nitrogen in low-density solid materials and compare small spot compositions of a sample.
- Material Assessment:
- Detect Heavy Metals: Measure low concentrations of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, gold, silver, platinum, uranium, and chromium.
- Analyze Metal Alloys: Perform accurate identification of metal alloys.
- Oil and Fuel Analysis: Measure sulfur, chlorine, barium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and wear materials in oils, lubricants, and diesel fuels.
- Identify inorganic fill materials in polymers, such as fiberglass, calcium carbonate, and titanium dioxide.
- Quality Control Testing:
- Ensure Purity: Analyze the purity of materials such as inorganic chemicals.
- Evaluate Safety: Assess the safety of ceramic dinner plates and other consumer products for heavy metals.
Applications for XRF Testing
- Water Quality Testing:
- Measure Metal Ions: Detect concentrations of lead, copper, iron, cadmium, mercury, and other metal ions in water.
- Material Composition Analysis:
- Detect Changes: Measure the loss of zinc in brass due to environmental exposure.
- Beverage Quality Control:
- Ensure Quality: Check sodas, wines, beers, whiskies, and liqueurs for heavy metals or elements leached from packaging.
- Oil Characterization:
- Analyze Changes: Characterize changes in motor oils with use to ensure optimal performance.
- Contaminant Detection:
- Detect Soluble Contaminants: Identify soluble surface contamination removed by solvents.
- Measure Organic Bromine Additives: Detect and measure them in polymers.
- Couple with XRD crystalline chemical phase analysis to improve the identification of complex inorganic mixtures
