XrF and the President

drew on Jan 19th, 2009

Well, regardless of your political persuasion, there are some amazing things about tomorrow’s inauguration.

We here in our humble lab have noticed some things for which we are grateful in this inauguration as well. For one, environmental spending is already up in the 4th quarter, compared to the last several years, as EPA offices and other state and federal entities responsible for the environment are anticipating an increased budget for their efforts.

This is of course fine by us, as it means more contractors, and the agencies themselves, are interested in our products for testing soil, water, and air for inorganic contaminants.

This also means that our lower cost instrument will be a key player in this field, as this constrained economy pushes hard on all parties to stretch the available dollars. Our rentals are significantly lower priced than instruments that use X-ray tubes.

We are proud to do our part to make this a cleaner world, at a lower cost to the taxpayers (which is actually all of us!)
