XRF Analysis: Fast, Reliable, and Accurate Elemental Testing with Verum Group

5 Feb

Elemental analysis is crucial across multiple industries, from mining and environmental monitoring to manufacturing and research. Verum Group’s X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) services provide fast, precise, and non-destructive testing solutions for a broad range of materials. Whether you need to determine the purity of raw materials, detect contaminants, or analyze unknown substances, our XRF solutions deliver reliable, IANZ-accredited results trusted in New Zealand and globally.

What is XRF?

X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify the chemical elements present in a sample. This method is widely used due to its non-destructive nature, allowing for rapid testing without damaging the sample.

At Verum Group, we offer both laboratory-based XRF analysis and portable XRF analyzers for on-site elemental testing, providing flexibility for clients who need quick and accurate results in various environments.

Applications of XRF Analysis

XRF can be applied to virtually any solid material, making it a versatile solution for a range of industries. Some key applications include:

Mining and Geological Exploration

Determine the composition of ores, minerals, and geological samples.
Identify the presence of valuable or unwanted elements in mining operations.

Environmental Monitoring

Detect contaminants in soil, sediments, and water treatment residues.
Assess the impact of industrial waste on ecosystems.

Manufacturing & Industrial Applications

Ensure the purity of raw materials used in construction and manufacturing.
Identify corrosive elements in concrete and metals.
Analyze unknown substances in production lines, such as sludge buildup in pipes.

Metal Alloys and Material Testing

Determine the composition of metal alloys used in aviation, automotive, and heavy industry.
Assess quality control in metal fabrication and welding processes.

Research and Laboratory Analysis

Analyze organic and inorganic materials, including plastics, polymers, and biological samples.
Provide semi-quantitative and trace element analysis for academic and scientific research.
