Why Use Borate Fusion for Mining Applications?
Borate fusion eliminates the need for harsh acids or inconsistent digestions. It is fast, repeatable, and designed for the complexities of modern mining laboratories:
- Excellent homogeneity ideal for XRF and ICP workflows.
- Complete dissolutions of refractory materials including silicates without HF.
- Accelerated sample processing enabling high-throughput to run efficiently
- Low contamination risk especially compared to acid digestion
- Reproducible results critical for geochemical and assay labs
