A sample may be prepared for measurement by pressing, for example for XRF. In some cases, the sample may include a component that may mobilise on pressing. Such samples may be prepared by adding a binder to the sample. The binder includes an additive for binding the component that may mobilise and may include an additional component or components such as wax. The binder may be activated carbon, graphite or a mixture. The sample may be mixed using a mill, for example, and pressed into a pellet. Measurements may then be made on the pressed sample. |
