Developed to deliver the highest levels of robustness, unmatched productivity, and superior-quality results, FORJ™, a Claisse technology, is a game changer for sample prep by fusion.
Whether your analysis is based on X-ray fluorescence (XRF), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), or atomic absorption (AA), FORJ is an essential link in your analytical chain.
Analytical chains depend on the repeatability of results – and for that, high-quality sample preparation is key.
FORJ enables consistent heating between fusion positions, homogeneous melt, and contamination-free heating for superior analytical results.
In sample prep, high-throughput fusion instruments are fundamental.
Thanks to its tray loader option, FORJ is the fastest on the market – boosting productivity by up to 25% with the same compact footprint.
Minimum maintenance, even in tough conditions: the costs of downtime and replacement parts are the last thing you want in the lab. Designed for less thermal stress and reduced risk of contamination, FORJ minimizes the need for maintenance, ensuring greater efficiency and higher productivity.
Hassle-free handling: New fusion instruments shouldn’t be a source of frustration. Suitable for full-lab integration, FORJ is easy to install and provides a safe and user-friendly interface, so you can quickly get up and running.
Expert support on hand: At Malvern Panalytical, we’re experts in elemental analysis. Offering services ranging from on-site or remote technical and engineering support to useful training and practical advice, our network is here to give you the support you need.
Claisse does not only provide high quality and reliable instruments, it also takes the operator’s safety and the customers’ entire satisfaction into consideration.

With the Tray Loader, FORJ™ helps maximize your productivity – allowing you to load up to 12 samples at a time and enabling a fusion cycle to start without the presence of an operator.
The result? No time wasted in the heating chamber, up to 25% productivity increase and significantly lower operation time.
Non-wetting agents (NWAs) are added to the fusion mixture to decrease the tendency to stick to the platinumware, but they must be consistent in quantity to ensure repeatable results.
FORJ has a non-wetting agent (NWA) pill injector function that contributes to homogeneous melting and helps to avoid disk breakage. This useful function ensures that NWAs are delivered at the right time during the fusion cycle and optimizes the analytical results produced.
