The SPEX SamplePrep website version of our popular "Handbook of Sample Preparation and Handling" can help you get the most from your spectroscopic analyses by increasing the reliability and reproducibility of your prepared samples. It suggests how the most heterogeneous, unmanageable materials can be transformed into samples ideal for spectroscopic analysis, whether as fine, homogeneous powders, compressed powder sample discs, fused discs, or solutions. There are techniques for avoiding sample contamination, inhibiting caking during pulverization, protecting sample discs against breakage, and coping with many other sample preparation difficulties. The website also includes a complete listing of reliable sample preparation products to make the analyst’s life easier.

The website is divided into two sections. Section I contains product information such as descriptions and catalog numbers for ordering. Section II contains technical information associated with these products along with sample preparation techniques and applications. Each chapter within these sections pertains to a specific technique for sample preparation.
