Fusion of rock samples using a flux to sample ratio of 2.2:1 has enabled both major and trace elements to be determined precisely and accurately on the one glass disc. Lithium borate, more alkaline than lithium metaborate, is capable of dissolving most silicate rocks at this dilution. The addition of lanthanum oxide is warranted despite the reduction in counting rate because variations in mass absorption coefficients are reduced up to five-fold. Fusion, in addition to producing samples more stable than pressed powders, eliminates particle-size effects, reduces matrix corrections and makes the determination of back-ground on each sample unnecessary. Pure chemicals have been used for calibration, and five well-known standard rocks analysed to demonstrate the precision and accuracy of this single glass disc technique for fifteen major and trace elements.
