Mould Cleaning Holder
Eliminate cross-contamination during cleaning processes, with a platinum mold cleaning holder from XRF Scientific. Platinum-based molds are central to X-ray fluorescence (XRF) sample preparation processes and are consequently available in a range of geometries. To protect the casting surfaces of platinum molds with different compositions, shapes or sizes during routine cleaning operations, a custom holder must be used.
Platinum Mould Cleaning
XRF fusion molds regularly undergo high operating temperatures to facilitate harsh chemical reactions between analytes and borate agents. Developing habitual care and cleaning processes for every single fusion run is vital to ensuring that these conditions do not impair the performance of the mold over time. Best practices involve cleaning molds with citric acid (20%) in an ultrasonic bath, which will remove any adhered materials on the casting surface and return your platinum-based molds to optimal purity.
Custom platinum mold cleaning holders are used to guarantee that there is no cross-contamination during the ultrasonic bath process. They can be tailored to accommodate molds of different shapes, preventing surfaces from contacting and optimizing cleaning efficiency.
