What is pXRF?

Portable X-Ray Fluorescence – often termed “pXRF” – is a powerful technology capable of simultaneously quantifying many elements in a single analysis.

Traditional pXRF instruments look like guns. You point and shoot your samples with X-rays resulting in characteristic signals which are detected and related to elemental composition.

PROBLEM

Traditional pXRF Limitations

For many soil and agriculturally relevant elements, total concentrations can be rapidly quantified using pXRF under the right conditions.

However, carbon cannot currently be quantified using pXRF.

pXRF is a powerful instrument,
but current pXRF cannot measure carbon!

MULTI-SENSOR BENEFITS

More Data Than Others

You’re getting a more representative measurement, and the additional geochemical data advantageously enables the development of multivariate models to predict other soil properties such as CEC, texture, and other useful information.
