Database of Standards and CRM’s for XRF and OES

A new on-line searchable database has been launched by FluXana (Analysco in the UK) that takes the work out of finding the best reference materials for your XRF and OES applications. FLUXearch takes only four simple steps to search over 12,000 Certified Reference Materials (CRM’s) and identify those best suited to your application. The database contains over 9000 commercially available CRM’s for metals and alloys and 3000 more for non-metallic samples such as minerals, oils, plastics, ROHS, slags, cements, glasses, refractories and ceramics.

The database can be searched either by sample type and the elements required or by the CRM reference number. Searching by elements can be made more specific by choosing a particular base and any additional elements that need to be determined. A table of suitable standards is then displayed, and a single mouse click displays the full specification of that standard. Having placed all the standards of interest in a “shopping cart”, another single click will automatically request a quote from FluXana for the chosen CRM’s, usually responded to in 24 hours.
