How could energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometers help to improve our understanding of environmental health? Purdue University’s Aaron James Specht uses Malvern Panalytical’s Epsilon 4 benchtop XRF systems for both in-field and in-lab measurements to assess human and animal nails, bones and blood for exposure to heavy metals. With four devices running simultaneously, Specht is able to test a minimum of 80 blood spots per day. As the devices employ non-destructive XRF analysis, the samples can be used again in future studies 🩸 Aaron commented, “XRF is definitely a technology that is currently under-utilized in environmental health – it has great potential.” 👨🔬 Learn more about the study here: https://bit.ly/3zeHvlM Purdue University College of Health and Human Sciences #EnvironmentalHealth #PublicHealth #Cleaner #Healthier #MoreProductive #MalvernPanalytical #PurdueUniversity

X-ray fluorescence can enable us to quantify a wide range of different elements from a single measurement. This study, utilizing Malvern Panalytical’s Epsilon 4 systems, is focused on testing capillary blood spot samples for the presence of lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic – four elements associated with toxic exposure effects in humans 📚 The study is being led by Aaron James Specht from Purdue University College of Health and Human Sciences, who commented, “Using energy dispersive XRF, we can also measure other metals present in the sample at detectable levels, including zinc, iron and copper, for example. We don’t have such a big knowledge base about these metals simply because they haven’t been looked at in the same detail – this study is a unique opportunity to change that” 💡 Read more about the study here: https://bit.ly/3zeHvlM #EnvironmentalHealth #PublicHealth #Cleaner #Healthier #MoreProductive #MalvernPanalytical #PurdueUniversity

As a leading provider of non-ferrous metals and one of the largest copper recyclers worldwide, Aurubis Olen already plays a major role in shaping the circular economy. The installation of Malvern Panalytical’s on-line XRF analysis in Aurubis’ Olen, Belgium facility will now drive this capability forward. Our bespoke solution for process control, comprised of Epsilon Xflow spectrometers for on-line liquid elemental analysis, will significantly increase the company’s nickel and copper recycling capacity. Both metals are considered 'green' and are key to the sustainable energy transition. The Aurubis facility recovers valuable metals from bleed electrolyte streams in metal production, both in Olen and the nearby Beerse site. This enhancement will make Aurubis' processes faster, more efficient, and more sustainable by recovering valuable metals and ensuring more responsible use of resources – supporting the company’s strategy to drive sustainable growth within the metals industry. The tailored technologies created for the Olen recycling plant are based on energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometry. This robust system enables on-line process control by monitoring the composition of liquids, liquors, and reagents under the harsh operating conditions of metals production in real-time. This fully-integrated multi-element analysis encompasses every step of the process, from sampling to final result, including temperature-controlled sample handling, sample conditioning, and multiplexing.
