This video was prepared at Specac, to demonstrate how efficient, easy-to-use and powerful the Autotouch automatic hydraulic press is for the preparation of XRF pellets for X-ray Fluorescence spectroscopic analysis.
In this video we compressed milk powder into an XRF pellet, using a Pellet Die for housing the sample.
How to press XRF pellets using an automatic hydraulic press
- Assemble die with sample
- Place die in the press
- Select program
- Run selected program
- Remove work from press

How to press an XRF pellet using a Manual Hydraulic Press
Watch this video of the preparation of an XRF pellet of cocoa powder, using the Specac Manual Hydraulic Press.
This process was inspired by the University of Ghana, who used the Manual Hydraulic Press to prepare cocoa powder for analysis. Apparently, cocoa powder can protect the liver during high-dosage malaria treatment.
