Solid, high-quality pellets are an important precondition for reliable and meaningful XRF analysis.
RETSCH offers state-of–the-art pelletizing presses for pelletizing powdered sample for X-ray Fluorescence Analysis. The pellets prepared from RETSCH presses are strong and smooth. These presses are very easy to operate and caters to almost all types of samples. The samples can be pressed with or without a binder in an Aluminium Cup or steel ring or free pressed or on borate base. A wide variety of die sets are available to suite your analytical requirement.
