XRF Metal Analysis
XRF Metal Analysis for Fast Material Screening
Metralis uses XRF metal analysis as an important first stage in laboratory work. It helps establish the initial metal profile of a sample, estimate precious metal content, and guide the next analytical step without relying on guesswork.
XRF is especially useful for fast screening of gold-bearing material, catalytic samples, e-waste fractions, and other metal-bearing lots. It does not replace deeper laboratory work. It helps prepare it correctly and move the process forward faster.

Certifications and Accreditations
When XRF is a good fit
- Fast first-pass composition checks on metal-bearing samples.
- Gold screening and early XRF gold test work before deeper confirmation.
- Catalytic material screening when the lot needs a reliable first profile.
- Electronic and mixed recycling material where a quick first read improves the next step.
How XRF fits inside our wider process
- XRF gives the first read – It helps establish the initial metal content and sample profile.
- The first XRF result guides further analysis – It helps determine sample preparation needs and supports the next analytical step.
- The final goal stays practical – XRF feeds into a wider method stack and supports real technical and commercial decisions.

What is XRF metal analysis used for?
XRF metal analysis is used for fast first-stage screening of metal-bearing material. It helps establish an initial metal profile, identify the likely direction of the sample, and support the next analytical step without relying on guesswork.
Can XRF be used for gold testing?
Yes. XRF is commonly used as a first step in gold testing because it gives a quick initial read on metal content. In more complex material, that first result helps guide the deeper laboratory work that follows.
Do you use XRF for catalytic converter material?
Yes. XRF is useful for catalytic converter screening because it helps establish the initial PGM profile before the wider analytical process continues. This gives a stronger starting point for catalytic converter analysis.
Can XRF help with e-waste and mixed recycling streams?
Yes. XRF can be very useful in e-waste, electronic scrap, and mixed recycling material where a fast first read improves sample handling and method selection. It is a practical first-stage tool across several material groups.
Is XRF enough on its own for every material?
No. XRF is valuable for screening, but many samples need deeper work afterwards. In laboratory practice, XRF helps establish the initial metal content and supports sample preparation and method selection for the next stages of analysis.
Do you sell XRF machines?
No. Metralis provides XRF metal analysis as a service. The focus is on laboratory work and reporting, not on selling XRF instruments or equipment.
