Purchasing an XRF
With so many manufacturers and models of portable XRFs on the market, knowing which XRF is best for your application can be difficult. With Portable Scientific, we’ve made it our mission to match the right XRF to your testing situation.
There’s nothing more frustrating than choosing an XRF because of a convincing sales spiel, only to find out later it doesn’t fully suit your needs. We can help eliminate this, saving you time, energy and unnecessary expense.
Choose Portable Scientific for objective advice and all your portable XRF needs.
Training courses
In Australia, every State and Territory regulates the licencing of portable XRFs separately and, in most cases, differently to each other. This can make it highly confusing for the prospective owner and a major sore point for users nationally, especially for clients who have multiple projects across borders.
We ensure all our training courses are relevant, up-to-date and delivered to the highest standards. We provide Radiation Safety and Practical Use Training, tailored to your users, the make and model of XRF and your application. Our training courses are practical, accessible (in-person or online) and cost effective.
Radiation Licencing
We have comprehensive knowledge of the various Radiation regulations that exist across all Australian regions. Licensing requirements in many parts of Australia can be onerous; we take the hassle out of this for you, so you spend more time zapping!
Standard Work Practices (SWPs)
With more than 16 years’ experience working with Geochem XRF users throughout Australia, Portable Scientific have the experience and know-how to sit down with you, understand your requirements and processes, and tailor an SWP that will dramatically improve the quality of your portable XRF data.

Radiation Management Plans (RMPs) / Radiation Safety Protection Plans (RSPPs)
Most regulators require the creation and implementation of Radiation Management Plans. We are qualified to create comprehensive RMPs and RSPPs tailored to your XRF and your application.
South Australia, Queensland and Northern Territory also require regular radiation compliance checks to be completed on portable XRFs. We have the necessary accreditation and tools to perform these tests for you, to ensure your legal requirements are met.
Tailored XRF Methodologies
We can work with you to build a robust and tailored method for using your portable XRF in-field.

- Full printable SOP to supply to field crew

We can tailor for activities including soil sampling, RC chips and spoils, diamond core, powders and liquids.
