Advanced VNIR-SWIR Mining Applications

Visible Near Infrared (VNIR) and Short Wave Infrared Spectroscopy (SWIR) is a useful tool for mineral identification. Using a Near Infrared (NIR) spectral analyser allows for rapid collection of VNIR-SWIR spectra. This makes it a cost-effective method for determining sample mineralogy and mineral characteristics. Spectral data combined with geochemical information from laboratory data or in […]

Using Certified Reference Materials with portable XRF analysis

Using Certified Reference Materials with portable XRF analysis Would you accept results from an assay laboratory that doesn’t use standards, duplicates, or blanks? Your answer should be an empathetic no! You should treat your pXRF analysis the same way otherwise; with no standard Certified Reference Materials (CRM) to compare to, it is just a random […]
