X-Ray Fluorescence Laboratory
Database For X-RAY Fluorescence Laboratories
The world-wide database of laboratories utilising X-ray fluorescence techniques was created by the International Atomic Energy Agency's Laboratories in 2003 and published on the Web in 2004. At present there are 32 entries in the database from 27 countries containing information about the laboratory facilities, methods, applications, and training programmes. The current database is available in the electronic version. The database will continuously be updated based on the information submitted to the custodian via an input form.
The following data are stored in the database:
- Name of the Institute/University where the XRF laboratory is located
- Address
- Country
- Telephone and Fax
- E-mail address
- Link to the laboratory Web page
- Name of the contact person
- XRF facilities avaliable (EDXRF, WDXRF, micro-beam XRF, synchrotron facility, portable XRF spectrometers)
- XRF techniques applied (TXRF, polarized beam XRF, XANES, EXAFS, (micro)tomography, X-ray microscopy, X-ray reflectometry, grazing emission XRF)
- Application fields (basic research, archaeology, biology, medicine, agriculture, geology, environmental sciences, material and chemical sciences, industry, forensic, in-situ analysis)
- Training programmes (practical on-the-job training, diploma and Ph.D. theses)
Since the databases are a source of information on the available facilities, techniques and fields of applications, users are kindly requested to inform the IAEA on the changes and corrections to be made.
