High-quality sample preparation is the key to achieving consistent and reliable analytical results. Powders are ideal for samples that crumble or ablate after pressing. They blend quickly and completely with samples to form XRF (x-ray fluorescence) sample disks. Tablets are an efficient way to add binder to XRF sample disks. Liquid easily mixes with the sample.
Air-stable disks act as the waxy binder to seal the surface against moisture. Paraffin binder can be blended with sample at 10 to 20% by weight to form XRF sample disks.
