High-quality WD-XRF analysis begins with proper sample preparation.

At Terra Mineral Lab, we offer fused bead preparation for mineral and geological samples to improve homogeneity, reduce particle size effects and support reliable analytical results.

The process involves mixing finely ground sample material with flux, followed by controlled fusion to produce a uniform glass bead for XRF measurement.

This method is commonly used for major and minor oxide analysis, particularly for complex mineral matrices.

Fused bead preparation improves sample uniformity, reduces matrix-related effects and supports accurate quantitative WD-XRF analysis.

It is suitable for clay, kaolin, silica sand, limestone, iron ore, soil and other mineral-based materials.

We invite you to contact us today to find out more about our services or to submit your samples for analysis.
