Hello,
I am early researcher in XRF analysis and am wondering if it is finally so necessary the binder in pressed pellets or not. Someone advised me not to use it, due to the effect in matrix. Is is possible? Most of my analyzed samples are geological.
Also, regarding the quantity of the powder...for 32mm diameter aluminum cups, how much quantity of powder i have to use?
Thank you
