ASTIMEX STANDARDS

Astimex Standards Ltd. produces polished metallic element, rare earth element, rare earth phosphate, mineral and synthetic compound standards suitable for Electron Microprobe and Scanning Electron Microscope X-ray Analysis. They are also suitable for Laser Ablation Mass Spectrometric Analysis. Among our "Package mounts" (or standards for microanalysis), all naturally occurring stable elements are represented, with the exception of the noble gases. The pure metals are all of those which are stable and solid at room temperature and which can be prepared in a polished form. Some of them are more suitable than others for this type of use, and some degree of oxidation or failure to polish well may be expected in certain cases. The purity of the metals is always better than 99%, and most of them more than 99.99%. Details of the individual purities and source supplier are given with each purchase, or on request. Even the light element range, difficult to access by X-ray analysis is given..
