For XRF analysis, fused bead creation via fusion provides a nearly perfect, homogeneous sample representation. This method is ideal for solid samples. Gas and electric fusion machines can be used to ...

The Izod impact test fixes one end of a notched specimen in a cantilever position by means of a vice. A striker on the arm of a pendulum or similar energy carrier then strikes the specimen. The energy ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a very popular analysis tool for 3D surface topology visualization and other measurements on a wide range of materials at nanoscales ...

Sample preparation plays a crucial role in bioanalytical analysis involving chromatography. Insufficient sample preparation, such as skipping protein precipitation, phospholipid removal (PLR), ...

Specially designed for high-speed production control laboratories in the iron and steel industry, the ARL SMS-2500™ automation solution provides increased sample turnaround through a tighter ...

The Multiwave GO routine digestion system, unveiled at Analytica 2014, can operate from 1 to 12 samples at once. For reaction control the internal vessel temperature of each is controlled via an IR ...

The author examines sample-preparations methods used in inductively coupled plasma–optimal emission spectroscopy for four test metals. When analyzing for trace metals using inductively coupled plasma ...
