Join us for a comprehensive two-day training course in Krefeld, Germany, designed to help you use your X-MET more efficiently and effectively. Tailored for users of the X-MET8000/7500/7000, the course combines fundamental theory with hands-on practical sessions. You will learn best practices from our experienced team to perform high-quality XRF measurements using the X-MET analyzer.
In Day 1 we will cover essential topics such as XRF theory, sample preparation, radiation safety and tips for using the X-MET to its full potential.
On Day 2, there will be a practical, hands-on calibrations session. You can bring your own device and calibrate your device using your own standards or ours. A list of available standards can be provided upon request.
Participants can choose to attend either day individually or both for the full training experience.
