OSTI ID:6431064
The applicability and virtues of an analytical technique to a given class of analytical problems is subject to evaluation via a range of performance factors. The list may include specificity, sensitivity, detection limits, precision, accuracy, speed and convenience, to mention a few. X-ray Fluorescence-X-ray Energy Spectrometry analysis is reviewed for the most important performance parameters, in particular as pertaining to its use as a tool for trace element analysis in environmental, forensic and general bio-medical analysis problems. Data are given in conformance with NCCLS Standards for Protocol of Performance Claims for Clinical Chemical Methods.
