Description
The McCrone Micronising mill is widely acknowledged to be one of
the most effective means of reducing sample to sub-micron sizes
suitable for X-Ray diffraction; X-Ray Fluorescence; Infra-Red
Spectroscopy and Atomic Absorption Analysis.
What makes it so effective is the unique grinding action of the
cylinders producing both linear contact blows and planar
shearing.
The result is a short grinding time with virtually no sample
loss, as well as exceptionally even particle size distribution.
There is virtually no chemical degradation of the particles and a
significant reduction in the crystal lattice disturbance.The
McCrone Mill is used throughout the world in laboratories where
integrity of the sample is of paramount importance. The Mill is
indispensable for leading geologists, chemists, mineralogists and
materials scientists. Full details >>
