How Mail-In XRF Testing Works
After receipt, submitted samples are matched to their sample IDs and project information, measured by EDXRF under conditions selected for the material and analytical objective, reviewed for reporting, and returned only when return service has been arranged. The resulting PDF report is emailed to the order or designated report contact.
What to Send
Send a clearly labeled, representative sample in a clean, sealed container. For exact sample quantities, solid-part dimensions, labeling, packaging, and return options, see XRF Sample Submission & Shipping.
Turnaround & Results
Standard turnaround is normally within 2 business days after sample receipt. Results are delivered by email as a PDF report and may include elemental composition in wt% and/or ppm, measurement uncertainty or error information where applicable, and instrument/method information.
Business & batch testing: Written quotes, purchase-order workflows, recurring production testing, and larger-batch reviews are available. Contact Rapid Analytical before shipping projects that need custom scope or pricing.
Before You Ship
Review XRF Sample Submission & Shipping for detailed quantities, labeling, and packaging. Contact Rapid Analytical before sending hazardous, reactive, radioactive, unusually large, heavily coated, or otherwise unusual material. For method limitations, see the XRF Testing FAQ.
