Embrace fusion technology with ease. Effortlessly introduce entry level fusion for sample processing workflows.

The X-100 produces reliable glass disks (fusion beads) for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis by preparing homogeneous, reproducible samples from a wide range of inorganic materials. The X-100 can be used to create dissolved metal solutions (including peroxide or pyrosulfate fusions with modification) for inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES and ICP-MS) analysis.

The X-100’s gas-free design eliminates the need for combustible gases, reducing fire risk and simplifying laboratory infrastructure. Its electrically controlled heating ensures stable, reproducible fusion conditions with minimal thermal variability, enhancing analytical precision and operational reliability.

Sample types include soil, alloys, slag, minerals, ceramics, glass, and cement.

Versatile
  • Unparalleled consistent sample preparation for XRF (beads) or ICP analysis (solution)
Compact
  • Limited footprint minimizes disruptions to existing lab processes and simplifies site setup requirements
