WROXI-REE calibration standards
Synthetic oxide setup standards for accurate rare-earth element analysis with XRF
Synthetic oxide setup standards for accurate rare-earth element analysis with XRF
The wide-range oxide-rare-earth elements (WROXI REE) suite extends the proven WROXI platform into the analysis of rare earth elements (REEs), providing a robust calibration solution for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) across ores and concentrates.
REE analysis is inherently complex due to REE ores’ variable mineralogy and wide concentration ranges, as well as the limited availability of suitable reference materials. WROXI REE overcomes these challenges with synthetic, oxide-based setup standards that deliver consistent quality, optimized performance, and long-term availability.
As part of Malvern Panalytical’s REE Turnkey Solution, it enables accurate, defensible results with reduced method development effort.
Rare-earth elements are economically valuable but challenging to process, as they typically occur in low concentrations in ores and require high-intensity processing to separate. To seize opportunities while ensuring economic extraction, REE producers need high-precision analysis.
WROXI REE is specifically designed to enable this. It:
So you can get consistent analysis from exploration to production.
Unlike conventional certified reference materials (CRMs) derived from natural materials, WROXI REE standards are engineered from high-purity oxides, ensuring superior control and reproducibility.
This synthetic design provides clear advantages:
The result is a calibration approach that is robust today and future-proof tomorrow.
WROXI REE enables realistic, multi-element calibration for REE-bearing materials. You get:
In addition to REEs, key matrix and impurity elements (e.g. Fe, Si, Ca, Th, U) are incorporated to ensure accurate correction of real sample compositions.
WROXI REE is purpose-built to simplify calibration and enhance analytical reliability for wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) on instruments such as our Zetium spectrometer.
Key advantages:
This results in faster setup and more stable routine operation.
WROXI REE is fully integrated into Malvern Panalytical’s REE Turnkey Solution, combining standards, fusion, and XRF methods into one validated workflow.
The solution includes:
Together, this approach minimizes setup time and ensures consistent, validated analytical performance.
WROXI REE standards are produced in Malvern Panalytical’s Nottingham, United Kingdom facility in accordance with the following internationally recognized standards:
This ensures results are traceable, reproducible, and audit-ready.
WROXI REE delivers value across analytical, operational, and business levels:
WROXI REE combines the strength of the WROXI concept with a purpose-built REE calibration strategy. It provides a complete, future-ready solution for laboratories facing increasing demand for accurate rare earth analysis.
It delivers:
