XRF Testing Cost: What Does XRF Analysis Cost?
Rapid Analytical provides $45/sample mail-in EDXRF analysis for screening, comparison, and material decisions when a full certification workflow is not required. Results are normally delivered within 2 business days.
Simple Batch Economics
| Samples | Standard XRF Cost | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $45 | Single material or troubleshooting sample |
| 5 | $225 | Small supplier, lot, or process comparison |
| 10 | $450 | R&D, incoming-material, or screening set |
| 25 | $1,125 | Larger batch or recurring technical program |
No volume discount is required for these examples—they simply show the standard $45/sample pricing. For purchase orders, recurring programs, or unusual sample sets, request a written quote.
Why Screen a Larger Sample Set First?
When many samples need comparison, XRF can provide a fast first-pass elemental screen. Supplier lots, production batches, process stages, mineral samples, or development materials can be compared under consistent conditions, then only the samples that require deeper work need to move to higher-cost ICP, fire assay, accredited testing, or another specialized method.
Accredited or certified testing: If a regulation, contract, customer specification, or compliance program requires accredited or certified results, use an appropriately accredited laboratory and validated method.
