SpectroCertified® XRF Sample Cup Quality

Chemplex XRF Sample Cups are fabricated from a proprietary high-density polyethylene thermoplastic specially formulated for this application. The material is characterized with:

RoHS Compliant
  • Compliant with the European Council Directive 2002/95/EC, RoHS, Restriction of Hazardous Substances.
  • Consistent opacity without the addition of potentially contaminating “whitening” ingredients
  • Lubricity to facilitate and ensure the smooth and firm attachment of thin-film sample support windows
  • Physical characteristics for performance and resistance to thermal and irradiation exposure degradation
  • Chemical resistance from contact with incalculable sample material substances
  • Reportedly low and reproducible unavoidable trace impurity analytes

Typical Characteristics of Chemplex XRF Sample Cups

Typical Trace Element Impurities, PPM Melting Point, °C (°F) Softening Point, °C (°F)
Ca, Mg, Ti, Al, P, Zn 130 (266) 123 (253)

The extraordinary attention given to a special thermoplastic formulation and maintaining consistency of its physical and chemical properties is costlier than conventionally available plastics intended for general-purpose use. Chemplex XRF Sample Cups are unmatched in material composition and properties for their intended XRF scientific applications.
