In July 2026, the Second Conference on Mineral Product Sampling and Sample Preparation Technology (CMSP) was held in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. This conference, with the theme of "Science, Precision, Efficiency, and Empowering the Safety of the Mineral Resources Supply Chain", attracted numerous professionals from domestic and foreign mines, smelting enterprises, inspection and testing institutions, and research institutes. The participants engaged in in-depth discussions on the cutting-edge academic achievements and technological progress in the fields of sampling, sample preparation, and sample transmission. Create Analytical Instrument made an appearance at this conference, showcasing its ore product testing solutions. 

Sampling and sample preparation are the key steps in the inspection and testing of mineral products, determining the accuracy of the data. Industry consensus indicates that the error caused by sampling accounts for 80% of the total error in the inspection process, while the error caused by sample preparation accounts for 15%. Whether the sample preparation is sufficiently representative directly affects the reliability of the final grade data and is also an important basis for the scientific and objective nature of the inspection report. Therefore, the standardization of sample preparation and the detection capability of the analytical instruments are equally important. 

Create Analytical Instrument was invited to participate in this conference. They showcased the comprehensive solution of ICP spectrometer and portable X-ray fluorescence analyzer in mineral detection. During the technical exchange session, the representative of Create Analytical Instrument, drawing on their years of experience in serving the mining and smelting industries, focused on sharing the practical key points from sample preparation to instrument detection. 

During the sample preparation stage, factors such as the particle size, tablet density, and surface flatness of the samples will directly affect the excitation efficiency of X-ray fluorescence and the reception effect of characteristic spectral lines. Inconsistent sample preparation or substandard tablet quality may lead to significant deviations in the detection data. Therefore, Create Analytical Instrument suggests that users strictly control the grinding fineness and pressure parameters during sample preparation to ensure a smooth and dense surface of the samples, in order to fully utilize the advantages of the portable X-ray fluorescence analyzer for rapid screening in the field. This equipment does not require complex pre-treatment and can complete semi-quantitative analysis of various metal elements in ores within a few minutes, and is suitable for scenarios such as raw material storage areas, mining sites, and import ore ports. 

For tasks requiring high-precision quantitative analysis, the ICP spectrometer from Create Analytical Instrument plays a crucial role. This instrument boasts excellent sensitivity and stability, enabling precise determination of major and trace elements in ores and smelting products. It provides core data support for grade determination, ore blending optimization, and trade settlement. Create Analytical Instrument technicians emphasize that regardless of the analytical method used, the quality of sample preparation is always the prerequisite guarantee for the reliability of the analysis results. Only by combining the standardized sample collection and preparation process with the appropriate analytical instrument can the objectivity and representativeness of the final data be ensured. 
By participating in this CMSP conference, Create Analytical Instrument had practical discussions with industry colleagues on the technical challenges and solutions in the entire process of ore detection. This further deepened their understanding of the detection requirements in the industrial chain. In the future, Create Analytical Instrument will continue to focus on spectral analysis technology and provide strong support for the safety and efficient operation of the mineral resources supply chain.
