XRF Certification and Preventative Maintenance

Eastern Applied Research provides XRF Services at your facility through regionally located field technicians that are direct employees of Eastern Applied Research (no outsourced services). Field technicians have been trained by our headquarter technical staff on certification/calibration services for a complete range of energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence analyzers (EDXRF). The staff provides services throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico (bi-lingual technicians are available) and are dedicated to timely scheduling of certification services so that your critical compliance dates are not missed.

Three primary tasks included with on-site certification visits:
1. Calibrate the XRF Analyzer: using known reference standards to assure that this critical piece of equipment is working to specifications and providing documentation of certification to meet the clients audit requirements.

2. Safety Radiation Survey: assuring that the system meets the guidelines for x-ray user safety (interlocks checked, x-ray leakage test, etc) with certification provided.

3. Instrument Cleaning, Review and Consultation: put your analyzer in the best position for long-term performance with a thorough cleaning and review; pointing out aspects that can help to extend the life of the measurement device.

We refer to these service visits as 'certification and preventative maintenance' because the visit is designed to ensure compliance as well as prepare the instrument to operate at peak performance until the next services are due. In addition to certifying an instrument to industry performance standards and verifying that it meets safety radiation guidelines, the technician will provide a general cleaning and review of the analyzer. This 'preventative maintenance' will allow our trained and experienced field personal to potentially identify areas of concern that, with early identification, will give you the opportunity to limit future problems along with the downtime and costs associated with them.
