Ten geochemical reference samples were analysed for Rb, Sr and Cr by X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry. The results obtained by two different background correction procedures are compared. For Sr both the correction procedures yield almost similar results in carbonate matrix; however, for Rb and Sr in silicate samples some significant differences are often noticed.
