The Innov-X Alpha 4000 features a rugged, miniture X-ray tube that enables the user to accurately analyze for RCRA, priority pollutant metals and other elements in liquids, coatings and soils. It satisfies the requirements for OSHA Methods OSS1 and OSA1 for lead-based paint, and lead in dust wipes and filter analysis, in addition to EPA Method 6200 for metals in soils and NIOSH Method 7702 for lead in air filters,
The Alpha 4000 is equipped with universal XRF data modeling, which allows the user the following capabilities:
- Compton Normalization: an 'Internal Standard' uses quantitative analysis without site-specific calibrations.
- Fundamental Parameters: it's ideal for samples with low and high concentrations of many elements.
- Empirical Calibrations: 'Calibration Curves' allows user-generated curves for specialized calibration.
