In an ICP fusion solution the machine is configured to pour the molten flux directly into the acid digestion. The custom machine can be configured to be an ICP only model or a hybrid solution capable of meeting ICP and XRF fusion requirements simultaneously. This is particularly useful for the laboratory that requires a high variety of samples to be produced on an ongoing basis.

For high volume bead-making requirements, XRF Scientific’s six-place, electric fusion machine offers solid reliability with ease of installation and operation. These machines are capable of producing up to 30 fused beads per hour, per machine, with all functions accurately controlled and timed. Many laboratories have found that one operator can easily run two of these units simultaneously.

The Mouldable machine uses a mould which incorporates a crucible shape in which both mixing and moulding is performed. When mixing is complete, the molten material is cooled in the mouldable and the bead is then removed using a suction cup or similar. This application is suitable for high throughput environments where the impact or importance of labware lifetime is secondary. If you are interested in a custom solution please contact us so we can determine how best to meet your specific requirements.

Phoenix Go Line is designed for the preparation of fused glass disks (XRF) and solutions (ICP). It‘s also used for fusions with carbonates or peroxides.

For low contamination, cold to cold operation at high throughput, XRF Scientific’s Phoenix range of gas fusion machines are the perfect solution. When it comes to complex fusions, particularly where they are being conducted for the first time, being able to see the chemical process as it evolves in the crucible is of great benefit to the experimentalist. It is also of great benefit in preserving platinum ware and the life of your machine.

The Phoenix allows you to add ammonium iodide at just the right time in the process in a repeatable and controllable manner. Additional features include the ability to vary the cooling rate to find that delicate balance between cracking and crystallisation and ensure all pre-oxidation has occurred with a two stage heating process.

The xrFuse range of automated electric fusion machines allow seamless sample preparation of glass beads for XRF and ICP solutions in a matter of seconds. Designed with the latest thermal imaging technology, consumer tested in the biggest XRF laboratories in the world.
