What is XRF Technology?

Understanding X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis

X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials.

How XRF Works

1. The analyzer emits X-rays toward the sample.
2. Elements within the sample become excited.
3. Secondary fluorescent X-rays are generated.
4. The detector measures emitted energy levels.
5. Software calculates elemental concentrations.
