Extract

Considering all fields of analysis by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry geochemical analysis is probably the most complex. The geochemical analyst is often requested to analyse samples of unknown composition and origin. While these samples need to be analysed for a number of elements of economic or geochemical significance it is often impossible or uneconomic to analyse for all elements that could possibly be present in the sample.
