ED-XRF is a very versatile analysis technique to analyze solid, powder and liquid samples. It is also useful when analyzing aqueous solutions. The SPECTRO XEPOS ED-XRF analyzer is equipped with adaptive excitation, which uses optimized excitation conditions for groups of elements including a polarized excitation when analyzing elements in the range Na-Cl. This polarized excitation leads to higher sensitivity and lower scattered background in that spectral area and with this allows reaching low detection limits.
This report describes the performance of the SPECTRO XEPOS for this application.
