Simplify your sample preparation with TXRF
Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence (TXRF) analysis is a versatile analytical method, which is suitable for the multi-element analysis of different kinds of sample types. For most analytical tasks sample digestion can be avoided and sample preparation can be reduced to a few simple steps.
Due to a in-factory one time calibration the spectrum evaluation and quantification is fast and simple.
“Why Wait for Sample Prep”
- Samples: Liquids
Just a few steps are required for the sample preparation prior to an elemental analysis with TXRF. The preparation procedures for the most common sample types are described here in detail.
A variety of samples can be applied directly or after a simple dilution step:
- Liquids:
Tap water, fresh water, beverages, urine and other body fluids, organic solvents, acids, bases. - Suspensions and matrix rich liquids:
Wastewater, sea water, whole blood, blood serum, tissue and food homogenates, liquid nutrients, juices, wash solutions, dyes, oil.
- Samples: Powder
Solid samples can be analyzed quantitatively after grinding and re-suspending. Time-consuming digestion with hazardous chemicals can be avoided.
- Solids, powders:
Soil, sediments, sewage sludge, ores, tablets, polymers, food, plants and wooden materials, lubricants, catalysts, glass splinters, ashes, pigments.
Direct application of particles or thin layers allows a standardless analysis of the relative element composition.
- Particles and thin layers:
Nanoparticles, contaminations, proteins, gunshot residue, films, foils, precipitates, aerosols, flue-ash.
