Recognised worldwide for quality and consistency, Spectroflux fluxes are used in the preparation of samples for analysis of a wide variety of inorganic materials.
The new ten-page document covers a series of topics, including typical materials analysed, sample preparation, analytical techniques, application notes, instrumentation overview, and flux selection guidelines.
Dozens of Spectroflux products are listed in three categories: the classic, the specialised, and the new pre-fused fluxes.
The pre-fused fluxes have been developed and extensively tested to offer many additional benefits in handling, dispensing and application.
