Electric fluxer TheOx

For those of you who are new to the world of fusion : Fusion consists of mixing an oxidized sample with a lithium borate flux. This mix is heated to around 1000°C. At this temperature, the flux melts and dissolves samples to form a perfectly homogeneous mass. Finally, the molten mixted is poured, either into a preheated platinium mold to produce a glass disk for XRF analysis, or into an unbreakable beaker containing an acid solution to be analyzed by AA, ICP or any tradtional wet chemistry method.
