Wavelenght Dispersive X-ray fluorescence:

Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) is a technique that has become indispensable when fast, accurate elemental analysis is needed, as when controlling a melt in a steel works or the raw mix at a cement plant. One reason for its popularity in these applications is that its ease of use, and the ruggedness of the equipment, allows quality results to be obtained in plant conditions by operators without advanced analytical skills. 

The inherent precision, speed, and sample preparation simplicity of WDXRF can often eliminate many of the problems encountered with solution-based methods like ICP and atomic absorption (AA) spectroscopy. Rigaku WDXRF technology provides freedom from interferences, high sample throughput with superior precision, and low detection limits.
