In the modern blending plant, spectrometric analysis is no longer a matter of just measuring common lubricating oil ingredients and contaminants. Magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), and sulfur (S) aren't enough. As formulations grow more complex and additive packages proliferate, you may need precise analysis of elements from tungsten (W) to cobalt (Co) to bismuth (Bi) — as many as 27 in total.
Can your existing instrument handle all these? If not, consider advanced new ED-XRF models such as the SPECTRO XEPOS analyzer. It can measure them all, using only a single analytical method! And it delivers everything else your lab requires, from precision and throughput to lower costs and greater ease of use.
