What is XRF, and how does it work? XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials. It works by emitting X-rays onto a sample, causing the elements within to fluoresce. The emitted X-rays are measured to identify and quantify the elements present.
What are XRF standards? XRF standards are certified reference materials used to calibrate XRF instruments, ensuring accurate and reliable analysis of inorganic compositions.
Why are XRF standards important? They provide a calibration curve for the instrument, ensuring precise measurements that meet quality assurance requirements for various industries.
What types of calibration standards does Fluxana offer? Fluxana offers calibration standards for glass bead and powder methods, as well as certified reference materials for diverse applications like cement, slag, and zirconium oxide.
What industries use Fluxana’s XRF standards? Industries such as quality assurance, regulatory compliance, mining, cement production, and environmental monitoring utilize these standards.

Calibration Sets
What does a calibration set contain? A calibration set includes calibration samples, drift monitors, validation samples, onsite calibration services, staff training, and preparation tools such as mixers and binders.
In what form are the standards delivered? Standards are available in three forms: powders for flexibility, glass powders pre-weighed with flux for easy preparation, and glass beads prepared using over 15 years of Fluxana expertise.
Where do I find the calibration sets? Calibration sets can be found on Fluxana’s website for a quote contact us here.
I require a specific element range; can Fluxana offer it? Yes, Fluxana provides extended calibration ranges tailored to your needs. Their laboratory staff can review your requirements and offer customized solutions.
Can someone help me with the calibration? Yes, contact Spectrometer Technologies and we will assist with calibrations and training for staff.
How can I be sure about the quality? All calibrations are conducted under ISO 17025 conditions in Fluxana’s application laboratory. Regular proficiency tests according to ISO 17043 ensure consistent quality.
Sample Preparation and Equipment
What kind of preparation machine do I need? Fluxana recommends its gas or electrical fusion machines for optimized sample preparation. Methods can also be adapted for other brands if necessary.
What equipment does Fluxana offer for sample preparation? Fluxana provides presses (manual and automatic), fusion machines like Vitriox Fusion Machine, mills, binders, storage solutions, and accessories such as cups and foils.
What is the Vitriox Fusion Machine? It is a device offered by Fluxana for preparing fused beads by melting samples with flux materials like lithium borates.
What is the difference between pressed pellets and fused beads in sample preparation? Pressed pellets involve compressing powdered samples with binders, while fused beads are created by melting the sample with flux to form a homogeneous glass bead.
Benefits of Calibration Sets
What accessories come with a calibration set? Drift monitors for instrument stability checks and validation samples are included alongside preparation kits containing mixers and binders.
Are there ready-to-go calibration sets available? Yes, Fluxana offers pre-designed sets tailored to applications like cement production or slag analysis.
How do I ensure reproducibility with my calibrations? By using ISO-accredited methods developed in the laboratory under strict conditions.
