Lithium metaborate, Puratronic™, 99.997% (metals basis)

Description

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

Used in borate fusion sample preparation of various samples for analysis by XRF, AAS, ICP-MS, ICP-AES and ICP-OES. Used to determine the trace level of elements in contaminated soil. Useful fod dissolving acidic oxides such as SiO₂, and Fe₂O₃. A mixture of lithium metaborate and lithium tetraborate is useful for dissolving most of the inorganic oxides to enable spectrochemical analysis.
