Application Notes SP028: Grinding and pulverizing
Apparatus: 8530 Shatterbox®
Application: XRF analysis
A crucial part of geological studies is the analysis of rocks, minerals and other
solid samples. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is regularly utilized for the elemental
analysis of solid geological samples. Proper sample preparation is vital to
ensure that XRF results are accurate and reproducible.
This article describes the important aspects of sample preparation for XRF,
and how SPEX® SamplePrep can help you to prepare samples efficiently and
accurately in order to attain reliable XRF results.
