XOS announced the worldwide release of Cadence(TM), a new multi-element 
analyzer that delivers best-in-class limit of detection for heavy metals in 
soil and powders matrices. Cadence offers simultaneous measurement of elements 
like Cd, As, Pb, Cu, Ni, and Cr in soil and agricultural products such as rice 
and wheat. It is the ideal solution for agricultural inspectors and 
environmental assessors.

Mike Palmer, Vice President of Sales for XOS, believes this will be a 
game-changer for environmental remediation. "Existing instruments do not offer 
quantifiable analysis of cadmium and other heavy metals in soil and food. 
Cadence is a portable solution allowing you to run more samples in less time, 
and conduct a more thorough analysis for improved site remediation and land use 
decisions." 

Soil contamination with heavy metals has become a critical problem in regions 
with rapid industrialization and economic growth. Cadmium (Cd) is of special 
interest as a potential carcinogen because of its high mobility in soil with 
water, and its uptake by grains such as rice and wheat, which are important 
dietary staples. Early work characterizing Cd soil contamination has relied on 
wet chemistry techniques, such as ICP-MS or AAS, to achieve the level of 
sensitivity for quantification at regulatory limits. However, wet chemistry 
requires an expensive analytical lab, highly trained staff, and imposes time 
constraints for feedback due to sample logistics, preparation and analytical 
process which often take over a week to gather results. With comparable results 
to wet chemistry, Cadence is a viable alternative solution.  

Cadence is powered by High Definition X-ray Fluorescence (HDXRF(R)) technology: 
an elemental analysis technique offering significantly enhanced detection 
performance over traditional Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) 
technology. This technique applies state-of-the-art monochromating and focusing 
optics, enabling dramatically higher signal-to-background ratio compared to 
traditional polychromatic X-ray Fluorescence.
