X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of a wide variety of sample types, including solid objects, liquids, slurries, loose powders and thin films. This technique is very helpful for example in detecting toxic elements in plastics, food, and cosmetics, analyzing wastewater and soil samples, and performing
quality control in petrochemical and construction materials.
