Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this category and how Wirsam can help.
Borate fusion dissolves a sample in lithium borate flux at 1000°C to create a homogeneous glass bead, eliminating mineralogical and particle size effects that affect XRF accuracy. It is the preferred preparation method for geological, cement, and refractory samples.
The Rocklabs Boyd Elite is the most widely used jaw crusher in Southern African mining and exploration laboratories, offering double-acting reduction to sub-2 mm with minimal contamination.
Yes. Berghof SpeedWave microwave digesters with PTFE-lined vessels are well-suited to aggressive digestion of sulphide ores, complex geological matrices, and environmental samples.
