✦ Synopsis

The application of energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometry in the quantitative analysis of samples of Indian nail polishes of apparently similar shades from different manufacturers has been examined by evaluating the possibility of detecting spurious material which is marketed under the guise of a popular brand. On the basis of the number of elements detected, and from the ratios of particular elements [Fe/Ti, Fe/Cu, Ti/Cu] the results are very encouraging.

Energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometry was used for the analysis of silicate rocks using pressed powder pellets. It is observed that with this low-cost, simple and fast technique, trace elements such as V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Pb, Th, Rb, Sr, U, Y, Zr and Nb can be determined a
