- NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act) – artifacts being repatriated can be analyzed for toxins without any destructive signs or symptoms
- Conservation and Restoration of Art and Artifacts - valuable artwork and artifacts can be evaluated for authentication or material matching to ensure the like material is being used to restore an item
- Archaeology - identification of human remains or activity can be confirmed without disturbing the site
- Forensics – from identification of bullets to gunshot residue to soil match verification, nondestructive elemental analysis is paramount in Law enforcement
From trace elemental analysis to 100% alloy concentrations, Bruker’s handheld XRF provides fast, nondestructive analysis in the field and in the lab delivering near-laboratory quality elemental analysis all with the pull of a trigger.
