Orbis Micro X-Ray Fluorescence Analyzers from EDAX incorporate fast, simultaneous multi-element X-ray detection with the sensitivity to analyze from parts-per-million to 100% concentrations. Now you can get advanced non-destructive elemental analysis with the flexibility to work across a wide range of sample types and shapes with minimal sample preparation and no coating required.  Please click here for more information.
A big question in forensic science today is, “How do we best report uncertainty?” The answer to which approach is “best” turns out to be surprisingly complex, for many reasons. read more
Considering the relatively small number of micronutrients in food and soil and that these nutrients are generally present at high levels, ICP-OES offers an excellent compromise of speed, cost, and simplicity for this analysis. Microwave-assisted digestion allows for a nearly unified sample preparation method across all samples. read more
