X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis

X-ray fluorescence analysis characterises pharmaceutical elemental composition enabling contaminant detection. Primary X-ray excitation produces fluorescence. Spectral analysis identifies elements present. Quantitation determines elemental concentrations. Non-destructive analysis preserves samples.

Regulatory applications include heavy metal monitoring. Quality control detects elemental contamination. Post-approval monitoring confirms purity. Emerging technologies improve sensitivity. Rapid analysis expedites assessment.
