Platinum Crucible & Mold Description
Our Platinum Crucible and Platinum Mold are made from a 5% Au-Pt alloy, specifically designed for sample preparation prior to XRF analysis. The 5% Au-Pt crucibles and molds feature a "non-wetting" property, which makes it easier to remove bead samples after fusion, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.
