Xray Flourescence (XRF) Lead (PB) Testing
Have a certified XRF technician bring a handheld analyzer to your location to test for and detect lead paint, residual lead traces in soil and on surfaces, or lead contamination in foreign products.
This service is valuable to clients with concerns for existing structures/items/equipment with coatings dating further back than 1980, as well as to items produced in foreign jurisdictions that require validation as being lead-free.
Additionally, this service can be used to screen ground, walls and other equipment surfaces after lead removal and/or lead remediation, to provide third party confirmation of adequate removal of lead and ensure compliance to health, safety and environmental standards.
Results will be professionally reported with quick turnaround and/or adhesive warning labels will be applied to lead-bearing surfaces.
In-House Alloy and Non-Ferrous Material Testing
In-House Precious Metal Testing
Bring your precious metals or ore samples to us to be tested by
certified technicians using Xray Fluorescence and have the chemical
composition accurately measured and reported.
Results will include percentage of each precious metal in the sample, allowing accurate identification of purity (ie: karat grade for Gold) and/or representative sampling of ore value. Metals that can be screened for include but are not limited to Nickel, Copper, Silver, Gold, Palladium and Platinum.
This service is of value to placer miners looking to assay samples from their claims, determining the purity and value of new and heirloom jewellery, and verifying the precious metal content of metals, jewellery and coins obtained through purchase, exchange or inheritance.
Field PMI (Positive Material Identification)
Our certified XRF technicians can attend your site and perform Xray Based PMI on alloy and non-ferrous materials to ensure proper joining of metals under an API 578 or equivalent performance program.
We can also determine the composition and specification of many unknown alloys, and perform forensic audits of failed components to detect improper alloy use in construction.
