Specimen preparation is the source of the largest errors in x-ray Ñuorescence analysis. This paper reviews recent publications which deal with various methods of specimen preparation for the analysis of powders, compacted samples and fused specimens, non-destructive analysis of solid samples, direct

✦ Synopsis
A method is proposed for making quasi-solid specimens for x-ray Ñuorescence analysis by the introduction of a thickening agent (gelatin or agar, starch, water-soluble organosilicon polymer) into a liquid aqueous concentrate obtained by crystallization concentration. An organogel is obtained based on an organic extract and a surfaceactive substance. Such specimens may be used in x-ray spectrometers for solid sample analyses.
