XRF Scientific has a rich history of success in the field of industrial sample preparation, offering a comprehensive suite of solutions for every stage of the process. Our experience in flux preparation for x-ray fluorescence (XRF) and inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) chemical analysis spans decades. We are Australia’s foremost supplier of gas and electric furnaces for sample fusion, with unparalleled expertise in the provision of specialist labware in a range of versatile formats.

The backbone of our business focusses on the intermediate preparation of mineralogical samples for XRF and ICP analysis, yet we have also exceeded established performance levels for reducing raw samples to a more manageable format. We are now one of the world’s leading crushing equipment suppl...

Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy is an advanced analytical technique used for trace level determination of a sample’s elemental constituents. This is achieved by directing nebulized sample material through the plasma torch array that is charged with an electromagnetic coil. Liquidized droplets of the sample of interest are passed through the torch in a channel of gas. Ionized particles are then obtained from the plasma unit and transferred to a mass spectrometer, where they are sorted by mass-to-charge characteristics and analyzed using precise photodetectors. This enables analysts to determine the sample’s elemental concentration on the parts per million (ppm) range.

ICP applications are primarily concerned with the determination of elements and chemical contami...

XRF Scientific is one of the world’s leading suppliers of platinum products and tools for analytical applications, with over 40 years’ experience in the development of x-ray fluorescence (XRF) flux production and decades of success in the manufacture of custom fusion machines designed for XRF and inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) processes.

Our experience in the field of analytical platinum supplies (APS) precedes the listing of XRF Scientific. Years of combined experience enabled us to draw upon tried-and-tested methods while resolving long-established problems associated with analytical laboratory products. We now provide an extensive range of both fusion and general platinum labware, platinum electrodes and anodes for electrochemical analysis, alongside a variety of precisi...
