XRF laboratories must assure the quality of their analytical results and ensure accurate and precise data by using quality control sample regularly. 
 
Obtaining the wrong analytical results can affect manufacturing and commercial decisions which can be very costly. Moreover, the Fusion-XRF process remains offline until the source of the variability is thoroughly identified and eliminated. When the analytical results are found to be outside the predefined criteria, planned actions must be taken. Since the analytical results can be affected by a large number of factors, troubleshooting steps may oftentimes become expensive and time consuming. 
 
Why use Fusion Monitors® in the routine quality control process? 
 
Fusion Monitors® are specially designed for quick, easy and proactive quality assessment and monitoring of the fusion process. Made from a mix of pre-fused lithium borate flux and sample, Fusion Monitors® are chemically and physically stable, independent of the sample preparation step, and help keep the focus of attention on the stability of the fusion process over time.
