Synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence analysis
microXRF
• energy range 2-21 keV (monochromatic)
• beam/pixel size: >300 nm
• sensitivity down to ppm
nanoXRF
• energy range 8-34 keV (monochromatic)
• beam/pixel size: >50 nm
• sensitivity down to ppm
Application
• spatial detection of trace elements and chemical speciation in thin sections of biological tissue or other sample matrices
• fields of application: biomedical research, pharma, toxicology
• tens of samples in one synchrotron shift compared to low single digit sample numbers in the lab
