X-ray Fluorescence (XRF)
Our Unique & Cutting-edge Technology
Scentroid’s X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) sensor helps you detect airborne mercury precisely and receive rapid results. X-ray Fluorescence technology is a proven analytical technique used to identify and quantify the elemental composition of materials. By measuring the intensity and energy of the emitted X-rays, analysts can determine the elemental composition and concentration of the elements present in the sample.
X-ray Excitation
High-energy X-rays are directed at the material
Electron Displacement
The X-rays knock out inner electrons from the atoms in the material.
Energy Emission
The atom becomes unstable, and outer electrons jump to fill the gaps, emitting energy in the form of X-ray fluorescence.
Element Identification
The emitted X-rays have unique energies depending on the element, allowing the instrument to detect and identify the elements present.
