Correct for the day-to-day drift of X-ray fluorescence instruments using these precision glass elements
Glass Technology Services (GTS) offers a new drift correction glass service for manufacturers and users of XRF.
Drift correction samples are widely used to correct the day-to-day drift of XRF instruments.
Glass is a material particularly well suited for this task, owing to its very high stability and versatility.
GTS has many years of experience and a proven track record in development and supply of custom glass compositions. Its unique position allows tailoring of glasses to suit individual customer requirements.
It supplies glasses from one-off bespoke samples to large regular orders.
Its correction glasses range in composition from relatively simple 5-10 element samples to complex glasses doped with a large number of elements. These are normally provided as discs, 5mm thick, 40mm diameter, with one face optically polished.
Dopant types and levels can be tailored for each customer, and there is great flexibility in terms of the packages on offer.
GTS considers close liaison with its customers through the entire process to be essential.
Glass consistency is of crucial importance, and all glasses are processed to ensure homogeneity and reproducibility.
GTS can supply a certificate of analysis for each batch using its own Ukas-accredited XRF facility.
