rFusion Automated Modular System

Description

The rFusion Automated Modular System, offered by Malvern Panalytical under the Claisse brand, is a workstation designed for preparing samples for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. It automates the key preparation steps of dosing reagents, mixing, and fusing powdered samples into homogeneous glass beads or fused disks. This automation standardizes the preparation process, aiming to improve analytical reproducibility and laboratory throughput. The system is modular, allowing configuration to suit specific workflow needs. It finds application in industries such as mining, cement production, metals, refractories, and catalysts, where consistent sample preparation for elemental analysis is critical. The manufacturer notes benefits including standard power requirements and a design that does not require dedicated oxygen gas or water cooling installations.
