Automated high-throughput fusion technology built for continuous, large-scale sample processing.
The X-600 produces analytically consistent glass disks (fusion beads) for XRF analysis by preparing homogeneous, reproducible samples from various inorganic matrices. It also supports fusion digestion workflows for ICP-OES and ICP-MS, including methods that require peroxide or pyrosulfate reagents.
The X-600’s gas-free design improves safety and simplifies lab infrastructure, while electric furnace design delivers precise, uniform thermal conditions for reliable fusion results.
Sample types include soil, alloys, slag, minerals, ceramics, glass, and cement.
Automated
- Prepares up to six samples simultaneously for XRF (beads) or ICP (solutions)
- Pre-loaded with fusion methods that are ready to use, but can also be fully customized
Safe
- Fully automated, cold-to-cold preparation minimizes manual handling
- Electrically controlled heating for stable thermal performance
- Gas-free design, no need for combustible or compressed gases
High throughput
- The furnace heats to the required temperature in less than 15 minutes and will remain ready for quick startup of a new batch of beads or solutions
- Processes up to 30 samples/hour
- Heavy duty (workhorse)
- Heating elements can be individually changed and are impervious to both flux and chemical attacks. They maintain their structural integrity and do not become brittle over time
- User-friendly interface–easily navigate operations with illuminated process indicators and an intuitive touch screen
Connectivity
- Featuring CPLive™ networking functions
Innovative Heating Elements and Advanced Furnace
- Ceramic insulation minimizes contamination risk
- Impervious to flux and other chemical projections
- Cartridge type for easy replacement
- Robust design allows for relocation without element damage
Utility friendly
- Works on 115 or 230 VAC single-phase power (3-phase not required)
- No external power supplies, cooling fluids or gas lines
