X-ray Fluorescence (XRF)
XRF is a non-destructive analytical technique that uses high-energy radiation to determine the elemental composition of a wide variety of materials, including metals, alloys, ceramics, geological materials, soil, and paint.
Location: MRC room 303
The X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) is a Supermini200 Sequential Benchtop WDXRF Spectrometer. It can be used on solids, liquids, and powders, and is suitable for a wide variety of materials, including metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, geological materials, petroleum products, soil, and paint.
