Hi all I seek advice on automated fused disk preparation. All of our samples have been prepared manually in the past and I have no experience with automation. Some examples of the “fusion machines” that I am considering for purchase: Malvern Panalytical Eagon 2 Katanax X600 Katanax X100 xrFuse 6 However, I am unsure of the choices and will consider other products. I am particularly interested in uniformity and quality of disks, and the reliability of the fusers. Many thanks for any and all comments.
