Title: Specimen preparation for x-ray fluorescence analysis of solutions

Journal Article · · Advances in X-Ray Analysis

Specimens for x-ray fluorescence analysis (XRFA) were prepared by adding dry gelatine (10%) to the analysis solution, homogenizing the mixture and cooling for 20 minutes. Thus, a compact resilient mass could be formed with the required shape and size; the roughness of the surface was determined by the roughness of the surface on which the specimen was formed, much the same as highly polished. Various calibration methods can be applied in the XRFA of a variety of materials if such specimens are used. 12 refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs.
