Applications & industries
Sample preparation is only as good as the pellet it produces. These are the workflows our presses and die sets are specified into.
Hydraulic pellet presses and die sets for XRF and FTIR workflows in mining laboratories and QA/QC.
Sample preparation for FTIR and XRF analysis across metallurgy, ceramics, composites and energy materials.
Engineering & support
Founded in Wilmington, Delaware, Imperial Instruments has spent the better part of a decade engineering the instruments and diamond materials that demanding laboratories rely on.
Optical-grade diamond components, nitrogen-vacancy materials and diamond anvil cells.
Hydraulic presses, pellet die sets and heatable die sets for XRF, FTIR and XRD.
From specification through to delivery, across mining, materials science, energy and quantum.
We design and manufacture die sets in any size, shape or material to meet your exact application needs — from one-off laboratory projects to specialised spectrum and analytical die sets.

Resources
Reference material on how the equipment works and where it fits.
What a hydraulic pellet press is used for, how it affects pellet quality, and how to choose a force range.
How controlled heating during compaction improves density and reduces defects, and where it is used.
The full press range, from compact benchtop units to high-capacity machines and dedicated XRF presses.
Diamond optical and quantum components are specified per enquiry. Dimensional tolerances, optical figure, coating specification and surface finish are confirmed against your requirement rather than published as a fixed table.
