Claisse TheOx fluxer for XRF, AA and ICP sample preparation

The Claisse fusion instrument line has added TheOX - an electric multiposition fluxer which achieves sample preparation by fusion for XRF, AA and ICP analysis.

This fully automatic fusion instrument produces up to six samples simultaneously and allows the preparation of 24 to 30 fusions per hour. Features include high technology refractory materials, user-friendly touch screen interface and high-performance heating elements.

With its fusion temperature control, the device can reach 1200°C with a precision of +/-1°C. The 3.75 kW generated in the heating chamber allows fast fusion temperature ramp-ups for shorter fusion cycles and increased sample throughput. Additionally, the multilayer insulating materials minimise heat loss.

The product is suitable for the fusion of: mining and geological samples (silica, silicates, clay, ores); cement, lime, carbonates, ceramics, glass, slag, refractories; sulphides, fluorides; bauxites, alumina; catalysts, polymers, pigments; steel, pure metals, ferroalloys, non-ferrous alloys; and pharmaceutical samples.
