Sample Prep at BYU Provo

Sample is obliterated into powder using a tungsten carbide crusher.
Powdered sample is pressed into pellets for trace element analysis using x-ray fluorescence (XRF).
Powdered sample is mixed with flux and other elements to be heated and fused into glass discs for major element analysis using x-ray fluorescence (XRF).
