Capsule pre-saturation has been traditionally employed to circumvent Fe loss from the charge to the container in petrological experiments. However, the method is time-consuming and fraught with theoretical and practical difficulties. An alternative method, based on the use of starting materials pre-enriched in Fe, is presented. Test experiments on two natural basalts, both non Fe-enriched and Fe-enriched with the addition of Fe oxides, have been carried out at 1 atm and 50 MPa (H 2 O-saturated), 1200 and 1250 °C, between NNO and NNO-1 and in Pt and Au 80 Pd 20  capsules. Glasses and capsules were analyzed by electron microprobe. Fe-concentrations in the capsule near the glass interface strongly depend on the capsule material, being 5-10 times less for Au 80 Pd 20  than for Pt. For non Fe-enriched compositions, Fe loss reaches -15% (Au 80 Pd 20 ) and -60% (Pt). Increasing the level of Fe-enrichment reduces Fe loss, the amount of Fe alloyed with the capsule being compensated by the amount of Fe added to the starting composition. FeO t  concentrations in high-pressure glasses bracket the nominal FeO t  of the two starting basalts, demonstrating that Fe alloying has been successfully counteracted. Combination of AuPd containers with Fe pre-enriched starting materials offers excellent perspectives to solve the Fe loss issue in high-pressure experiments on basaltic compositions.
