Ultra-High Purity Fluxes from XRF Scientific
At XRF Scientific, we are industry leaders in the supply of ultra-high purity fluxes for a number of applications, including small research laboratories as well as large-scale mining and commercial laboratory facilities across the globe.
As lower detection levels are becoming highly sought after in analysis, requirements for ultra-high purity fluxes for sample preparation processes in XRF and ICP analysis. A broad range of ultra-high purity fluxes is available at XRF Scientific, offering the optimum quality raw chemicals on the commercial market.
Applications of Ultra-high Purity Fluxes
There is a broad and varied range of applications that use ultra-high purity fluxes, and it is critical to take stock of the individual requirements prior to the selection of an X-ray flux chemical.
The purity of fluxes can be of critical importance when it is being used in an application where trace-level precision is necessary. Purity is also significant regarding the minimizing of contamination and the intensity of the background.
Using Lithium Metaborate and Lithium Tetraborate
Lithium tetraborate and lithium metaborate are available from XRF Scientific and can be used as ultra-high purity fluxes when used at 100% composition. Lithium metaborate 100% works well in wet chemistry applications as it has a melting point of 845°C and is highly reactive with acidic samples.
Lithium tetraborate ultra-high purity flux can be used with copper sulfate, magnesium oxide samples, and calcium oxide samples and is often combined with lithium metaborate to form fusion fluxes of various rations for sample preparation applications.
Fusing the lithium metaborate and lithium tetraborate ultra-high purity fluxes at a ratio of 66:34 and 50:50 for sample preparation of pH-neutral samples like alumina. Lithium metaborate ultra-high purity flux is often used for sample preparation in the form of fused beads or discs from XRF analysis. If a sample is not prepared correctly the outcomes can be inaccurate and substandard.
Ultra-high Purity Fluxes for Calcareous Refractory Sample Prep
Castable refractories are a critical part of a variety of heat containment processes. They are a form of insulation in steelmaking and ceramics manufacturing and offer the required combination of moldability and high-temperature resistance which helps to protect components. Ultra-high purity fluxes are used in quality control workflows to guarantee that materials are suitable for harsh downstream applications.
