Eliminate cross-contamination during cleaning processes with a platinum mold cleaning holder from XRF Scientific. Platinum-based molds are central to X-ray fluorescence (XRF) sample preparation processes and are available in various geometries. Curing routine cleaning must protect the casting surfaces of platinum molds with different compositions, shapes, or sizes.

Mold Cleaning:
XRF fusion molds regularly undergo high operating temperatures to facilitate harsh chemical reactions between analytes and borate agents. Developing habitual care and cleaning processes for every fusion run is vital to ensuring that these conditions do not impair the mold's performance over time. Best practices involve cleaning molds with citric acid (20%) in an ultrasonic bath, removing any adhered materials on the casting surface, and returning your platinum-based molds to optimal purity.
Custom platinum mold cleaning holders guarantee no cross-contamination during the ultrasonic bath process. They can be tailored to accommodate molds of different shapes, preventing surfaces from contacting each other and optimizing cleaning efficiency.
