Lead Analysis

We provide fast and reliable alternative to lead analysis using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technology, a non-destructive method ideal for testing paint, coatings, and building materials.

In accordance with B.C Environmental Laboratory Manual, XRF may be used in lieu of Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS) for lead analysis.

Our XRF operators are trained in the usage of, and analysis of XRF results.
