Lithium metaborate, dried, 99%

Description

CAS: 13453-69-5 | B4H14Li2O7 | 183.23 g/mol

Lithium metaborate is an effective flux for silicates and other rock-forming minerals. An improved lithium metaborate fusion technique for inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric analysis of felsic rocks is proposed. The determination of fluorine in silicate materials with a fluoride ion-selective electrode following fusion with lithium metaborate is described.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
