• The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requires a handheld energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer to conduct immediate on-site screening for lead content in various materials.
• The primary purpose of the instrument is to aid in industrial hygiene assessments and environmental compliance inspections, specifically for federal and state lead-screening requirements.
• The FDA requires a UV/visible spectrophotometer and an autosampler built into one instrument, specifically designed for use with the ultraviolet (UV) portion of the visible spectrum.
• The new device must meet specific technical standards related to wavelength accuracy, noise floor stability, and calibration procedures.
• To enable accurate testing and data reporting, this system relies on a connected autosampler that seamlessly integrates with the spectrophotometer.
