Sample Preparation Tools and XRF Accessories

Perform a spatially resolved, quantitative rock-face analysis in minutes. The Direct Rock Sampler uses special diamond cutting blades to generate a sample by cutting slots, or even making a line cut, on a rock face or drill cores. The powder is collected in a sample tube and can then be cupped or pelletized for XRF analysis. The device can be attached to an AC or DC powered commercial angle grinder.

Reduce rock samples to a homogenized, fine powder in just seconds. Featuring the first 12VDC powered mill on the market, this powerful yet lightweight device delivers. This mill includes a “Crusher Tool” to reduce the size of larger rocks and connectors for powering the mill directly from the battery posts on your field vehicle.

Produce solid powder tablets without binder with just one hammer stroke. With less than 5 grams of sample, the Pellet Press generates material with a consistent flat surface and density, which minimizes matrix effects. This press doesn’t require sample film, which reduces light element performance.
