Dr. Fernand Claisse goes to business again!

Dr. Claisse, inventor of the Fused Bead Technique, comes back to business and starts Fernand CLAISSE inc. (Back to history)

The objectives of the new company are:

  to allow Dr. Fernand Claisse to satisfy his needs of activities by returning to research, at the service of the XRF analysts community, and indirectly at the service of the whole community

to increase the potential of the borate fusion technology from the first step of analysis, the sample preparation, to the last step, the determination of sample composition (Major contributions)

to develop better versions of the products Dr. Claisse has invented in the past (Major challenges)


To realise those objectives, Fernand CLAISSE inc.
begins supplying the following products and services :

  • A book on "The Physics and Chemistry of Borate Fusion", the only book in that kind in the fusion bead technology.

  • A CD-rom containing over 110,000 absorption coefficients of elements, oxides and flux components. Absorption (attenuation) coefficients are always present in XRF calculations. A convenient tool in XRF research.

  • A novel Fundamental Parameters XRF software that has unrivalled advantages in the analysis of fused beads, and some in the analysis of metals.

  • A free e-mail consultation service, for all fusion bead users who have analytical problems, or desire to improve their fusion procedures.

 


New products are now available :

  • A new automated fusion instrument is available now. The most recent knowledge and innovations in fusion technology are incorporated in this fusion instrument.

  • Granular fusion fluxes, manufactured by Fernand CLAISSE inc. have special oxidizing and releasing properties; they are available at a very interesting price.
