Benefits of XRF Analyzers

In talking to people we realize that many organizations don't understand the large number of benefits that having in-house x-ray fluorescence testing capabilities provide.  Below is a brief listing of some benefits that make XRF Instruments an investment that adds value to an organization:
   -   Low initial costs compared to other analytical equipment
   -   Minimal upkeep and operational costs
   -   Non-destructive analysis
   -   Fast results (60 - 300 seconds)
   -   Accuracy and Repeatability 

Also, by utilizing x-ray fluorescence as an in-house testing device, companies that previously sent samples to outside laboratories will receive additional benefits. 
The benefits of in-house testing include:
   -   Increased turnaround and production output
   -   Ability/option to test every part
   -   Lowered long-term costs; an XRF pays for itself in these cases
   -   No hassle (or cost)  of samples being shipped out for testing
   -   In-house control

Perhaps your organization utilizes in-house XRF analysis; if you have seen a benefit that others would find beneficial in their decision process; feel free to post a reply to this blog...
