XRF USER MEETING
16–17 SEPTEMBER
EXCHANGE OF KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE AND PRACTICAL TIPS BETWEEN XRF USERS
In collaboration between Trollboken AB, Eurachem Sweden and Kemistutbildarna AB
Registration will open 1 of April 2025
XRF instrument for analysis has now existed for more than half a century, but technology is still rapidly developing – one example is portable or handheld XRF. With XRF you can now measure most of the elements. Those in most cases that are not measured are the lighter elements such as boron, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, etc. As all the techniques even XRF has many disadvantages – when you know those your results can be improved!
SCOPE
The scope of this user meeting, held every second year, is the exchange of knowledge, experience and practical tips between all users of different techniques using elemental X-ray fluorescence. Here, users gather to exchange experience and follow developments. Lectures (mainly in English) are mixed with discussions.
At the meeting we will include sample preparation (milling, grinding, briquette and glass bead), measurement of fluids, calibration and maintenance of instruments. We will in detail discuss the performance of energy and wavelength dispersive XRF and compare handheld instruments and lab instruments. We exchange experiences with each other. This year we will also discuss accreditation of XRF methods and purchase of new instruments.
Target audience
The target audience is you working with XRF:
• lab instruments – energy (EDXRF) and wavelength dispersive (WDXRF); or
• portable or handheld instruments (pXRF).
The goal is to exchange experience with other users. The content is governed by the participants and all requests for items to discuss are welcome.
