Wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) <\/a>is the standard test method for analytical laboratories serving diverse applications.\u00a0Laboratory-based XRF systems provide qualitative and quantitative analysis for process and quality control. FLUXANA offers sample preparation and sample grinding, screening of samples,\u00a0development of an\u00a0XRF application with the samples, and other services.<\/p>\n

FLUXANA\u2019s clients are moving away from wet chemistry analysis and toward XRF technology, so they are increasingly demanding easy-to-use\u00a0instrumentation that achieves the production control they need.<\/p>\n

Watch this 5-minute video interview where Dr. Rainer Schramm, Managing Director of FLUXANA, describes his experience using a newly-designed XRF spectrometer for high-precision analysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n
