Thin Film Sample Supports Materials

TECHNICAL REPRINT

X-ray Fluorescence Thin-Film Sample Support Materials

Thin-Film Sample Supports are available in different gauges and chemical compositions to satisfy the spectrochemical investigations of virtually all analyte-lines. They are supplied in several configurations for economy and convenience for attachment to XRF Sample Cups. Typical Sample Support Substances are: Polyester, Prolene®, Polypropylene, Polyimide (Kapton®), Mylar® and Etnom^TM Thin-Films.

Chemplex thin-film sample support windows are manufactured in compliance with the European Council Directive 2002/95/EC, Restriction on Hazardous Substances, RoHS.

CONTINUOUS ROLLS

Rolls are 3" x 300' (7.6 cm x 91.4 m) contained in special boxes with serrated cutting edges. Each roll serves approximately 1200 sample preparations.

PRE-CUT CIRCLES

Pre-Cut Circles are 2.5" (6.4 cm) in diameter and packaged 500 and 1000 circles per box. Each circle is supported on individual carrier papers for ease of handling and to minimize contamination.

SPECTROMEMBRANE® SAMPLE SUPPORT CARRIER FRAMES

Thin-Film Sample Support Materials are pre-mounted on sturdy paper carrier frames. Within the center of the frame there are perforations approximately 3" (7.6 cm) in diameter that constitute the actual thin-film to affix to an XRF Sample Cup. The Thin-Film is pre-stretched to ensure a taut sample support and there is no troublesome static electricity to contend with, no contamination possibilities, no waste and no experience necessary.

Step 1.
Place SpectroMembrane® Over XRF Sample Cup

Step 2.
