Spectroflux® Alkali Borate Fusion Fluxes

Alfa Aesar has a world-renowned reputation for consistently supplying the highest quality analytical fluxes to the cement and steel industries and also geo-scientists for mineralogical applications. A wide range of fluxes is available for use in methods such as direct reading optical or X-ray emission spectrometers, atomic absorption spectrometers, spectrophotometers, polarographs, ion selective electrodes, inductively coupled plasma or classical analytical techniques. Regardless of the method chosen, Spectroflux® analytical fluxes offer the benefits of speed and analytical precision.

Developments in our manufacturing capability have led to the introduction of an addition to our range of Spectroflux® lithium borate fluxes. The new fused Lithium Tetraborate Spectroflux® has a much higher tap density (1.1 g/cm3) than our normal flux, allowing a smaller volume to be used and enabling automatic sampling systems, to function more effectively. This new lithium tetraborate flux Spectroflux® 1000 fused has been developed only recently, to meet the needs to customers requiring a higher density fusion flux. For years chemists have relied on Spectroflux® alkali borate fusion fluxes in analysing a wide range of refractory materials. Spectroflux® fluxes are known for their controlled particle size, high purity and homogeneity. Spectroflux® is manufactured at our Royston plant and is available in quantities from 50g samples to multi-kilogram batches, thus ensuring reproducibility and the accuracy of your results.

Precious Metal Labware

Alfa Aesar, a Johnson Matthey company, offers its customers the unique opportunity to order all of their laboratory products from one source, from platinum labware to reagent grade chemicals.

The analytical laboratory is a vital part of all industrial plants and research facilities. While many analytical techniques have evolved over the years, one fundamental practice remains the same; the use of high-purity inert materials. In this category, platinum has properties that make it the ideal choice. It offers a high degree of inertness and can be readily fabricated into a wide variety of products, from evaporating and special purpose dishes, beakers and electrodes to microchemistry apparatus and utensils.

Our Zirconia Grain Stabilized (ZGS) line is also available in most labware items. ZGS offers enhanced high temperature strength and, therefore, longer life at the same weight as conventional platinum.
