XRF is used to detect and analyze noble metals like Gold ( Au), Silver (Ag), Platinum (Pt),Iridium (Ir), Osmium (Os),Palladium (Pd), Rhodium (Rh), Ruthenium (Ru), Copper (Cu),Zinc (Zn), Nickel (Ni), Cadmium (Cd), Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co), Indium (In), Tin (Sn), in the  Jewelry Industry.

Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) technique relies on the detector and the detection circuit capability to resolve spectral peaks due to different energy X-Rays emitted when a primary X-Ray beam strikes a metal alloy corresponding to different elements in the sample, intensity of the spectrum radiation proportional to the concentration of element. The spectrum is then processed through the powerful computer software which calculates and reports the various elements & their composition in the sample.

Handheld X-ray analyzer works on a rechargeable 7.2V Li-ion battery with a backup period of 8 hours under normal use. XRF analyzer has a detectable range from Ti to U. CGX-104 operates under control of the HP iPAQ PDA with 4 inch high resolutiontouch-screen display. The optional lab stand allows using of handheld analyzer as a tabletop instrument under PC or laptop control.
