The materials regulated in RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) are lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (CrVI), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). Handheld XRF guns are widely used to screen for these materials by detecting the underlying element in polymers, plastics, electronics and consumer goods in raw materials as well as finished products. 2011-12-24T 10:34:20+05:30 Prashant http://www.bruker-axs.com/contaminated-soil-analysis.html Handheld XRF guns have become the instrument of choice for soils analysis when characterizing, remediating and monitoring contaminated soil sites. With just 30-60 seconds per sample, fast, accurate data can be obtained in hours rather than weeks, ensuring that your project meets its deadline and does not go over budget. XRF is nondestructive. Sampling density is the key factor in profiling contamination. Best practice includes sending 5% of these very same samples analyzed with the XRF in the field to the lab for confirmation. 2011-12-24T 10:34:20+05:30 Prashant http://www.bruker-axs.com/xrf-gold-testing.html Handheld XRF Analyzers of the next generation from Bruker analyze gold in a jiffy, and with greater precision and confidence than ever before. You can “read off” karats and percentage of gold in literally less than 3 seconds. A full analysis – completely nondestructive – takes less than 10 seconds to run and can be performed in real time during any sale or acquisition. In fact, you will not merely know whether this or that piece is below karat, but exactly by how much. 2011-12-24T 10:34:20+05:30 Prashant http://www.bruker-axs.com/handheldx-rayspectrometry.html Handheld XRF analyzers give you the freedom to work in the lab or in the field; it's your choice. Flexible instrument configurations allow you to choose a model that best fits your application. Contact our applications team to learn how XRF can help solve your material identification needs. 2011-12-22T 10:34:20+05:30 Prashant http://www.bruker-axs.com/xrf-basics.html XRF is an elemental technique which measures the amount of various elements within a sample. Handheld XRF (HHXRF) is unique in that you can take the battery operated analyzer to the sample rather than bringing the sample into the lab. This is especially useful when the test specimen is large or heavy. Contact a representative to find out how HHXRF can help you analyze your material. 2011-12-22T 10:34:20+05:30 Prashant
