Abstract

A newly developed, portable total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) spectrometer was tested during a field campaign on Chilean lakes and a German river in January 2002. The field measurements were compared with laboratory measurements carried out on a stationary instrument in the German laboratory. For method validation certified reference material (NIST SRM 1640 Trace elements in natural water) and water samples from different freshwater sources were analyzed with both techniques and evaluated statistically. Based on these preliminary results, it could be concluded that the portable TXRF is a useful technique for the quantitative elemental screening of freshwater samples during field campaigns. Future tests with biological samples (e.g. biofilms and zooplankton), and suspended matter will provide information about the suitability of the portable TXRF for these materials.
