What is a Laboratory Crusher Used For?
Laboratory crushers, also known as jaw crushers, are devices used to reduce solid samples like rocks or crystals into powder or dust. Crushers are used for a range of applications and processes, here we outline some of the key characteristics of crushers and their uses.
How Does a Laboratory Crusher Work?
The key mechanism of laboratory particle size reduction is the jaw crusher. This machine uses a fixed plate with a mechanically operated gyrating plate. The plates are arranged in a funnel shape with a wider opening for the feed at the top and a narrow discharge at the bottom. The plates move against each other in a rocking motion, crushing samples and moving towards the discharge area.

Selecting the Right ICP Solutions For Your Applications
ICP solutions are analysis techniques involving multiple elements that use an inductively coupled plasma source to separate a sample into its constituent atoms or ions. Then the ions may be detected in a mass analyzer or they can be excited to a level at which they emit light of a distinctive wavelength.
ICP solutions can consist of a range of processes, this article will outline some of these solutions and the applications they are best suited to.
ICP-OES vs ICP-MS: Comparison of the ICP Solutions
Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) this type of ICP solution monitors the intensity of emitted light. This then informs the concentration evaluation of the particular element as it is compared to calibration...

Where to Buy Platinum Sheet
Platinum sheet has unique properties, meaning it meets performance standards for a range of specific applications and is used as an intermediary good to produce a variety of end-products. Platinum is the rarest of all precious metals, around 90% of platinum supplies are derived from Russia and South Africa and there are no significant above-ground supplies.
Platinum and platinum sheet is critical for the production of approximately 20% of consumer goods and a range of industries are dependent on platinum because of the unique characteristics it possesses.
Applications of Platinum
Platinum and platinum sheet are used in a range of applications including:
- Eyeglasses
- Fiberoptic cables
- Explosives
- Paints
- A...
