  • 32 mm Pressed Pellets for XRF – an alternative to the Nano-Pellets for XRF!

    32 mm Pressed Pellets for XRF – an alternative to the Nano-Pellets for XRF!

    During the Geoanalysis conference in Freiberg in 2022 we met a representative from Evident Scientific (formerly Olympus). Having had a conversation about a potential collaboration and the possibility of loaning a handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument we set out to develop a new type of pressed pellet

  • Another manganese nodule Nano-Pellet and further sets

    Another manganese nodule Nano-Pellet and further sets

    We complement our existing manganese nodules Nano-Pellets NOD-A1-NP and NOD-P1-NP with another manganese nodules Nano-Pellet: FeMn-1-NP! Manganese nodules are of scientific as well as industrial interest due to their high content of critical metals.

    myStandards @ Goldschmidt Virtual 2020

    Instead of staying at Hawaii – we will present our latest research and development at the Goldschmidt Virtual 2020: the most important annual international conference on geochemistry and related topics organized by the Geochemical Society and the European Association of Geochemistry. Although we were very much looking forward to going to Hawaii this year, we…

  • Microanalytical Analysis of Nano-Particulate Pressed Pellets made from Manganese Nodules

    Microanalytical Analysis of Nano-Particulate Pressed Pellets made from Manganese Nodules

    Manganese nodules have been of both scientific and industrial interest due to their high content of critical metals(i.e. Co, Ni, Zn, Cr, Cu, Pb). The dawn of new microanalytical techniques such as μXRF, LIBS and LA-ICP-MS has opened the possibilities of analysing these samples quantitatively and also visualising the elemental distribution in situ without tedious…
