Material analysis

Non-destructive analysis of material compositions

Material analysis provides insight into the elemental composition of a material. In quality control, knowing the exact material composition is essential to ensure the properties, quality, and function of a material or coating. With our X-ray fluorescence instruments, you can reliably and non-destructively measure which elements are contained in your sample. From incoming goods inspection and precious metal analysis to pollutant analysis – we provide you with the right measuring solution for your application!

Reliable material analysis for highest quality standards

Product quality should never be a compromise because defective goods don’t just drive up costs. They can also damage your reputation as a trusted business partner in the eyes of your end customers.

With material analysis, you can precisely verify whether your products meet your material composition requirements and standards. This helps you avoid excessive material consumption and identify quality issues and weaknesses early – whether directly in production, in the laboratory, or at the point of sale.

We are always at your side as your trusted partner

To optimize your manufacturing processes and ensure consistent quality, you need powerful measuring solutions. That much is clear. But when things get challenging, you need more than that.

We are more than world-leading measuring solutions.

We are your competent advisor and dedicated technical expert whenever you need support. As a reliable partner, we support you worldwide with comprehensive services – ensuring you find the best solution and can look back and say: Choosing FISCHER was the right decision.

Your material analysis – our measuring methods

For the elemental analysis of metallic materials, energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) has proven itself in practice and is now widely established. Contactless, clean, and completely non-destructive, it delivers highly precise analyses and results, and detects all technically relevant elements – from aluminum to uranium – in a very short time.
