Product
Sample holder/stocker for contaminant measurement — EDXIR-Holder

Overview

• Enables more efficient analyses
  This foldable holder integrates an adhesive layer to secure samples and a polypropylene film positioned for fluorescence X‑ray (EDX) measurement. Close the holder and orient the polypropylene film to the irradiation side for EDX. For FTIR (ATR) measurement, open the holder and press samples on the adhesive layer against the ATR prism. The design enables rapid sample replacement and reduces handling time.
• Prevents sample loss
  After measurement the holder can be closed and used as a sample stocker, avoiding transfer to other containers and reducing the risk of sample loss.

How to use with EDX
Close the holder and place the polypropylene film facing the irradiation side (downside).

When the holder is open (inside of the holder)
Open the holder to expose the adhesive layer; samples are fixed on the adhesive layer for handling and measurement.

How to use with FTIR
Open the holder and press the samples attached to the adhesive layer against the ATR prism for FTIR measurement.

Integration — EDXIR-Analysis
Supports combined workflows: measure the same sample by EDX and FTIR, then analyze both datasets with EDXIR-Analysis for improved contaminant/material identification accuracy.
