Forecast text
Annual maintenance agreement for scientific instrument. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry is used to analyze samples of color additives (synthetic dyes) that are used in foods, drugs, cosmetics, and medical devices for elements with limiting specifications listed in 21 CFR Part 74. XRF is the primary means of analysis used to determine levels of these materials in the range of 1 - 1000 ppm. XRF is also used for official sample analyses when elemental composition is being determined. Reliable and timely maintenance and repair of the Epsilon 5 ED-XRF is critical to the mission of the Color Certification Branch which is to certify color additives for use in foods, drugs, cosmetics, and medical devices.
