 Soil Analysis from SPECTRO
Soil Analysis via XRF (x-ray fluorescence) is a widely used and accepted method for site investigation, assessment, remediation, and monitoring. At Geotechnical, we know the challenges involved in obtaining accurate, reportable soil analysis data quickly and easily. We offer state-of-the art solutions for XRF soil testing from SPECTRO, a worldwide leader in elemental analysis, in handheld and benchtop configurations.
Soil Analysis with SPECTRO xSORT Handheld XRF Analyzer
Handheld XRF elemental soil analysis for environmental screening is fast and reliable with the SPECTRO xSORTŪ. The press of a button allows you to test the elemental composition of soil or sludge for all 8 RCRA metals (Ag, As, Ba, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, Se), 13 Priority pollutants (Ag, As, Be, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Tl, Zn), and even light elements (Mg, Al, Si, P, S). The SPECTRO xSORT is available with various configuration options and is easy to customize to assure especially accurate results for your application. Distinct advantages of using the SPECTRO xSORT for environmental soil analysis include:
- Fully compliant with U.S. EPA Method 6200 for delineating contamination boundaries in the field. Learn more about soil analysis with Method 6200.
- Non-destructive analysis allows samples to go to a laboratory for confirmatory testing when necessary
- Fast mapping of contamination boundaries - GPS coordinates with each reading
- Light element analysis (Mg, Al, Si, P, S) without helium of vacuum purge for ultimate portability
- Large surface area SDDs (silicon drift detectors) come standard in all xSORT handheld instruments, assuring that you get the best value available in handheld XRF instrumentation
- Soil testing has never been faster or more repeatable-see it for yourself
Soil Analysis with SPECTRO Benchtop XRF Analyzers
All the power of the SPECTRO xSORT, plus the added accuracy and very low limits of detection of a benchtop. Large, small, or micro-spot analysis, elemental mapping, liquids, sludge, slurries, and much more. Click here to learn more about SPECTRO benchtop XRF instruments for soil analysis.
