Preparation of Liquids and Loose PowdersPANalytical offers a wide range of sample holders and consumable items for the analysis of liquids and loosepowdered material by XRF, including films, sample cups and assembly tools designed for trouble free assemblyof liquid sample cups with a variety of support films.Support filmsWhen analyzing liquids and loose powders by XRF there are a variety of support films to choose from and thebest choice will depend on your specific application requirements (figure 17).PANalytical offers a range of films for various analytical purposes. All films are used in our application labs andour recommendations for using film for various applications are based on the experience of our applicationspecialists with these products.The support films offered by PANalytical include the four major film types, Polypropylene, Hostaphan , Mylar and Kapton .PolypropylenePolypropylene is a high transmission film that has a relatively low tensile strength and generally weak chemicalresistance, but is usually very clean for most contaminants. It can be used where low P and Ca measurementsare important. For instance, it is commonly used for energy dispersive instruments that have lower resolution thanWDXRF instruments and thus can encounter analytical problems with Ca and P overlaps that would be presentwhen using Mylar film. PANalytical offers an ultra-low sulfur version of Polypropylene that can be used for lowlevel sulfur analysis.Mylar Mylar is a specific type of polyester film patented by DuPont that is an excellent general purpose film for manyXRF applications. It has excellent tensile strength and is chemically resistance to most acids. Mylar does containsome contaminants such as P and Ca. Specific ultra-low sulfur versions are excellent for petrochemicalapplications such as ultra low sulfur analysis.Selecting a Support FilmWhen choosing a support film several factors should be considered, including film absorption, film strength, andchemical resistance and film contamination.Once X-rays are created in your sample, they must pass out of the sample and through the support film beforethey can be measured by the detector. The support film will attenuate or absorb the outgoing radiation to somedegree which has an impact on the sensitivity of various elements, particularly those with longer wavelengthssuch as sodium. The two main factors that effect sensitivity are film type and or film thickness. Polypropylenetypically has the highest transmission, or least absorption, followed by Mylar. The thickness of the support filmalso has an impact, with the thinnest films providing the best transmission or least absorption.Film strength and chemical resistance are determined by the film type and thickness. Mylar has the strongestfollowed by Polypropylene.Many films have inherent contamination which can impact your choice of films. The PANalytical films were testedwith our Axios Advanced WDXRF spectrometer using our Omnian Application and the relative proportions ofcontaminants detected are shown in table 4. The support films offered by PANalytical are shown in table 5.9

Liquid Sample Cups and Sample HoldersPANalytical offers a range of disposable sample cups for the analysis of liquids and loose powders. Eachsample cup is comprised of three pre-cut and individually bagged pieces for easy assembly. All samplecups are vented and have an overflow reservoir in the lid (figure 19). The two most common sample cupsare the 35mm and 45mm cups. The 35mm cups are ideal for use with the Epsilon 3X series of instrumentsbut can also be used with the Axios, PW2400 and MagiX instruments in conjunction with the 35mmstainless steel sample holder (part number 9430 044 27951), or with the Epsilon 5 using the stainless steelsample holder (part number 9430 050 02321)(figure 22 and table 6).The 45mm sample cups are primarily used with the Axios, Venus and Epsilon 5 instruments and fit into therespective sample holders for liquid analysis for these instruments (table 6). PANalytical also offersassembly tools for both 35mm and 45mm sample cups to insure easy and uniform assembly of the samplecups (figure 20). The complete list of sample cups and holders are shown in table 6.Pre-assembled Sample CupsPANalytical now offers pre-assembled sample cups with in 2 sizes with a variety of films. The preassembled cups are designed to make routine analysis easier and limit sample leaks in fast paced labenvironments where many operators are preparing samples. The pre-assembled cups are packaged incases containing either 768 cups/case for 45 mm cups or 1152 cups/case for 35 mm cups.Figure 19: left: 35mm sample cup shown in the three individual pieces prior to assembly. right: 35mm cupassembled and ready for sample introduction11

Preparation of Fused BeadsPANalytical supplies a range of basic fusion fluxes that can be used for a wide range of applications. Thefluxes are all pre-fused and re-ground into large granules to eliminate problems caused by differences in theloss on ignition between different batches of flux which will impact your analyses. Lithium Tetraborate is themost common and most versatile flux that is used for a wide range of materials including cement, geologicalmaterials and slags (figure 23).Lithium Metaborate is a flux with a low melting temperature that should only be used for specialty XRFapplications or fusions for ICP Analysis as it does not easily cast into XRF disks without crystallization. Themixed 50% Lithium Tetraborate/ 50% Lithium Metaborate flux is a specialty flux that maintains the good castingcharacteristics of the Lithium Tetraborate flux, but allows complete dissolution of samples at lowertemperatures. This flux is ideal where low fusion temperatures are required to prevent volatilization of elementssuch as S and halogens. The details of the fluxes offered by PANalytical are shown in table 7. An example offusion beads of geological materials prepared with the PANalytical brand Lithium Tetraborate flux are shown infigure 24.Fusion FluxesFluxLithium TetraboratePart Number9425 888 00033Lithium MetaborateDescriptionApplications2Kg container of LithiumTetraborate flux for generalpurpose applications.

Preparation of Pressed PelletsBindersPellet Blend BinderThe pellet blend binder is a low moisture (44u) binding and grinding formulation additive, successfullyutilized with samples that exhibit hard to abrasive characteristics with inhomogeneous sample materials.Pellet Blend has a well-balanced blend of self-binding properties along with grinding abrasiveness and canwithstand moderate to high grinding cycles without degradation from heat.This binder is chemically clean and ideal for most pelletizing applications including cements, slags andgeological materials. This is the binder most used and recommended by our application specialists. Thisbinder is also most commonly used to make pellets using 12g of sample and 3g of binder for Pro Trace andgeneral analysis (figure 25).MultiMix BinderThe MultiMix is a low moisture ( 30u) wax based select mixture. Successfully utilized with samples thatexhibit moderate to hard properties including some homogenous and many inhomogeneous samplematerials. A highly lubricous additive, MultiMix has excellent self-binding properties with adequate grindingabrasiveness during short to moderate grinding cycles without degradation from heat.Boric Acid BinderA select granular grade of boric acid material able to withstand extreme high temperatures incurred duringthe grinding process of very hard and inhomogeneous sample materials. Boric acid is ideal as a backingagent used when making pressed pellets where sample size is limited.Additional Items for the Preparation of Pressed PelletsPANalytical also offers press dies for pressing 32 and 40mm pellets (figure 11), Aluminum backing supportcups for 32 and 40mm pressed pellets as well as pellet film to prevent materials from sticking to the press dieduring preparation of the pressed pellets (figure 28). The details of the products available for preparing pressedpellets are shown in table 8.Figure 23: Container of 500, 0.5g tablets of Pellet Blend Binder and Container of 1lb of Pellet Blend Binder.14
