XRF Analysis Solutions for Accurate Material Identification
Introduction to
XRF Solutions for Accurate
Elemental Analysis
XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) is one of the most reliable and widely used techniques for elemental analysis of a variety of materials including solids, liquids, metals, pastes, slurries, and powders. Whether you need rapid on-site screening, high-precision laboratory testing or complete quality-control workflows, SciMed provides a full portfolio of XRF instruments to suit every environment.
Our range includes handheld analysers for portable, rapid decision-making in the field, energy-dispersive systems for versatile lab applications, and wavelength-dispersive platforms for the highest levels of resolution and precision.
SciMed supports customers across manufacturing, metals, mining, research, recycling and advanced materials. Our specialists can help you select the right instrument for your testing requirements
Fast, portable alloy and elemental analysis
Handheld XRF Analysers
Handheld XRF is ideal when measurements need to be taken directly at the point of use. These systems deliver immediate on-screen results, making them perfect for PMI, scrap-metal sorting, fabrication, quality checks and environmental screening.
Applications
- Alloy identification and PMI
- Scrap-metal sorting/recycling
- Mining and Precious Metals
- Incoming materials inspection
- Environmental and soil screening
- Safety compliance checks (RoHS)
- POPS and Waste Screening
Why choose a handheld XRF?
- Portable and battery-powered
- Results in seconds
No sample prep needed - Ideal for field teams and mobile QA/QC
- Rugged and Robust
- Easy to operate

Key Benefits
• Simple installation and low running costs
• Rapid multi-element detection
• Little to no sample preparation
• Suitable for both routine and research workflows
High-precision elemental analysis for demanding laboratories
WD-XRF Systems
Wavelength-Dispersive XRF (WD-XRF) offers the highest accuracy, precision and stability across a broad concentration range. These instruments are selected when laboratories require certified-quality results for regulatory, compliance or advanced research work.
Applications
• Cement and building materials
• Mining and geology
• Petrochemicals
• Metals production
• Refractories
• Advanced materials characterisation
Key Benefits
