Key Advantages of XRF Calibration Beads

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) equipment is entrusted with an important task: investigating the elemental make-up of various materials. Known for its speed and accuracy, XRF is valued for its capabilities by several different industries, including geology and manufacturing. If XRF devices are not calibrated on a regular basis, the results they produce may be unreliable and inaccurate, something which could cause issues for the aforementioned areas and many others. An effective method of calibrating XRF devices is through the use of XRF calibration beads. Read on to discover more about these beads and the advantages they present.

How to Prepare Glass Beads for XRF Spectrometry

Every material contains a unique array of elements, imbuing them with attributes that contribute to their performance. By uncovering the elements of a material through elemental analysis, it’s possible to deliver quality control, ensuring any contamination is identified and that batch standards remain consistent. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry can be utilized to understand a material’s elemental composition. It can be applied to a number of diverse industries, like archaeology and art for examining pigments, environmental science for monitoring pollution, and pharmaceuticals for analyzing drugs.

Sample preparation in XRF spectrometry is an essential step that can impact the outcome of the an...

Reducing the Particle Size Effect in XRF Measurements

Undertaking X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is an excellent way of ascertaining a material’s elemental make-up. Not only is XRF a non-destructive technique, meaning that the analyzed sample remains undamaged, but it can identify a variety of elements, starting with sodium (Na) and ending with uranium (U). Its ability to decipher the elements within a sample works through the application of X-rays. These X-rays can excite a material’s atoms, generating characteristic X-rays that have a specific energy that relates to an element, which can be deciphered through a detector. Unfortunately, there is something that can affect the accuracy of XRF measurements: the particle size effect.
