Total Metal Screening by X-ray Fluorescence
topic
Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry provides rapid non-destructive semi-quantitative screening of heavy metals including lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, and bromine in textile specimens by measuring characteristic X-ray emission intensities excited by a primary X-ray beam, enabling high-throughput factory and port-of-entry compliance screening before confirmatory ICP analysis.
Role
Enables cost-effective first-pass screening of large textile shipments and product ranges for heavy metal contamination without sample destruction, allowing rapid identification of non-compliant batches requiring confirmatory wet chemical analysis under REACH and consumer product safety frameworks.
