Art and Archaeometry using Handheld XRF Analyzers

Bruker has become the defacto choice for art and archaeometry applications, thanks to its capacity for completely non-destructive elemental identification. This lends itself to a wide variety of uses, such as investigating non-uniform samples, determining the provenance of a valued object, or obtaining elemental data for geochemical survey.

Restoration work can be achieved reliably and sensitively, by ensuring a close match of pigments and other materials. Safe repatriation of cultural artifacts is also made possible by the ability to detect trace toxic preservatives, in a way that is fully compliant with organizations such as NAGPRA.
