Malvern Panalytical LiT/LiM 50/50 Pow 500g C-0620-10

LiT/LiM 50/50 Powder is a ready-to-use borate flux blend intended for sample fusion and glass bead preparation for XRF and related elemental analysis. It is supplied as a powder in a 500 g pack and formulated to produce stable fused beads that dissolve or neutralize sample acidity/alkalinity, enabling reproducible sample digestion for geochemical, ceramic and mineral analyses. Manufacturer guidance lists LiT/LiM blends as standard flux choices for applications such as ceramics and iron ore preparation and for achieving an acidity index close to neutral during fusion.

Key Features:

• Composition: Lithium tetraborate (LiT) / Lithium metaborate (LiM) blend, 50/50 ratio
• Form: Powder for fusion/sample preparation
• Pack weight: 500 g
• Intended use: Fusion to produce glass beads for XRF and related elemental analysis
• Grade note: Documented use with pure-grade flux (99.98+%) in fused sample preparation

Advantages:

• Balances sample acidity/alkalinity for consistent fusion and reproducible XRF results
• Suitable for a range of sample types including ceramics and iron ores as recommended by the manufacturer
• LiM component offers a lower melting point and crystallization behavior useful when preparing samples for ICP
• Supplied as a convenient 500 g powder pack for routine laboratory fusion workflows
