Claisse Eagon 2 Fusion Instrument

Description

The Claisse Eagon 2 is a compact, electric fusion instrument used for creating homogeneous glass disks from powdered samples. This preparation is a critical step prior to analysis by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The benchtop unit features two positions and automates the fusion process to improve standardization. It utilizes electrical heating to achieve temperatures ranging from 300°C to 1200°C, effectively melting samples with a fluxing agent. The instrument's dimensions are 64 mm in width, 68 mm in depth, and 56 mm in height. Its design incorporates safety features and automates previously manual steps, aiming to produce consistent glass disks that enhance the accuracy and repeatability of subsequent elemental analysis.
