Evacuable Stainless Steel Die Sets for all SpectroPress® types

Briquetting/Pellet Cups

Tapered-Walled, Aluminum

• Reduced cracking and fissure development.

Tapered-Walled, Plastic

• Reduced cracking and fissure development.
• Helps extending die life by resistant-free pellet ejection.

Straight-Walled, Aluminum

• Acceptable where spillage, potential cracks and fissure development from stress and strain are not important issues.

SpectroPellet® Film

To protect die pellet and reduce cross contamination and cleaning time.

• Low coefficient of unwanted sample adhesion.
• High resistance to puncture.
• Each precut circle is supported on a paper carrier frame for convenience of handling.
•  For use with 32, 35 and 40 mm diameter dies.

PelletAid® Pellet Release

• Serves as dry focused lubricant
• Application to the metal pellet prevents the sample from sticking.
• Application to the inside walls of the die set improves movement of pellets and plunger.
• Does not introduce unwanted analyte-lines of significant detection.
