X-Centric Sciences
The quantification of soil organic content is currently achieved by wet oxidation, loss on ignition or dry combustion methods which are time consuming, destructive, expensive and/or produce environmentally harmful byproducts.Spectroscopy system such as visible near infrared and mid infrared have been used to predict soil carbon but theseinstruments can be expensive, require hyperspecialized calibrations, and conduct only superficial measurements.X-Centric is researching and developing pXRF instrumentation systems for soils allowing streamlined acquisition of vertically stratified geochemical, carbon, and density information through the soil profile.
