Reply to "Modern XRF's for Elemental Analysis (oils)?"

andrewMember

Hi all,

XRF results were acceptable in part, however, a host of lighter elements were troublesome (P, Na, Al, Si); no meaningful results could be made for these elements. It may have had something to do with the mylar film I used to try and protect the XRF innards (a concern with liquid samples). Helium was used to flush.

We do have other more traditional XRF's here that supposedly are far better at measuring lighter elements. However I would need to solidify the oil sample in order to read - another post entirely.
