HDXRF® technology is fast, precise, and easy to use. In addition, the technology offers a 1-mm analysis area that provides the ability to test small features for the presence of potentially toxic heavy metals, including lead. When it comes to analyzing glass materials for lead, HDXRF can offer many advantages over ICP methods. In 2013, the CPSC expanded upon its approval of HDXRF ASTM method F2853 for the quantification of lead in surface coatings to include quantification of lead i

When thinking of consumer products safety compliance, lead in paint and substrates is usually top of mind. However, heavy metals exposure is not the only risk managed with elemental analysis. Another major consideration is the Conflict Minerals section of the Dodd Frank Act. First, you must identify if any 3TG (Tin, Tungsten, Tantalum, or Gold) elements are present in your products. If so, you must then disclose the source origin, specifically if from the DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new, streamlined process to purchase parts and supplies for your XOS analyzers! Customers can now purchase anything from sample cups to primary windows to service plans from XOS.com. Our goal with this

Newly published ASTM D8064-16 standard test method has been approved for the quantification of heavy metal elements in soil and solid waste by monochromatic Energy-Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometry using multiple monochromatic excitation beams – also known as High-Definition X-ray Fluorescence (HDXRF). With a growing global demand for soil remediation and treatment, this new method has come at the right time providing an approved testing standard for the industry.

XOS, a leading manufacturer of application-specific X-ray analyzers, has announced the opening of a new applications laboratory to better support its customers. With the new applications lab, XOS is now offering live sample analysis demonstrations, instrument training, and technical support through onsite or virtual sessions.

“Our decision to create a new applications laboratory will greatly enhance our ability to respond to our customers’ needs,” stated Mic

Compass Instruments, a leading manufacturer’s representative in the U.S. petroleum market, and XOS, the leading global provider of mission-critical materials-analysis equipment, have established a new partnership to distribute XOS’ on-line products across the U.S. With their well-established customer-base, highly qualified technical and sales personnel, and single-source solution, Compass Instruments is the partner of choice for XOS to drive process analyzer growth.

The ASTM F15.22 Toy Safety Committee has just published revisions to its U.S. Toy Safety Standard, F963-16, covering the safety of all toys sold in the United States. Integral among the new changes is a provision allowing for the use of High-Definition X-Ray Fluorescence, or HDXRF, to measure the presence of toxic heavy metals in toys. Compared to traditional wet chemistry testing, HDXRF is much faster, more cost-effective, more efficient, safer and as reliable – enabling toy manufactur

Proimco, a Mara Group company, installed for the first time in Spain a sulfur analyzer, the Sindie On-Line, from the American company XOS, a world-leader in sulfur analyzers. Starting with a demo over three months, CEPSA refinery in Huelva, Spain measured sulfur in diesel oil (finished type A, B and C). This analyzer, which uses no auxiliary gases for measurement, has a configurable range of 0-3000 ppm sulfur with an accuracy +/- 2 ppm. It has a direct measurement technique (not gasified or r

On June 22, 2016, President Obama signed into law the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, which significantly amends the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and expands the authority and requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with regard to the regulation of “chemical substances,” notably including heavy metals considered to be harmful to humans or the environment.  This new law has been described as the most significant environment
