KARLSRUHE, Germany, May 22,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Bruker announces the launch
of its new S8 TIGER™ Series
2, the next-generation Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray
Fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometer. The S8 TIGER Series
2 is the most versatile WDXRF tool available for advanced
quantitative elemental analysis in industrial and academic
materials research, as well as in industrial quality control (QC)
of materials.
The new S8 TIGER Series 2 introduces novel
HighSense™ technology which offers an
exceptional linear dynamic range, thus enabling higher precision
levels for process and quality control in cement, minerals, mining,
metals, glass and ceramics applications. In addition, measurement
times are significantly reduced, sample throughput is increased,
and time-to-result is improved, typically by 25%.
The S8 TIGER Series 2 also features
XRF2 small spot mapping for detailed maps
of elemental distributions in materials. With a 300µm spot size,
XRF2 offers the highest spatial resolution
available in WDXRF. This makes the S8 TIGER Series 2
an excellent system for both industrial QC labs as well as for
industrial and academic research and methods development
laboratories.
In addition, the S8 TIGER Series 2 new
HighSense X-ray optics improves both sensitivity and
spectral resolution. This benefits a wide range of applications
including recognition of foreign particles, optimization of mineral
beneficiation processes in mining, analysis of material properties
in metals, semiconductors, and nanotechnology.
The S8 TIGER Series 2 offers intuitive and robust
operation with a new multilingual
TouchControl™ interface.
The S8 TIGER Series 2 is designed for high sample
throughput and easy integration into automated analytical
laboratories. Optimal instrument uptime and low cost of operation
are ensured with the unique SampleCare™
feature that protects system components while running liquid
petrochemical samples, or powders.
Dr. Kai Behrens, the Bruker AXS
Head of XRF Product Management, commented: "The S8 TIGER
Series 2 combines unequalled robustness and reliability
with highest analytical performance, flexibility and application
range in WDXRF. Its new HighSense technology allows
tighter quality and process control, while the new
XRF2 mapping tool benefits both R&D of
new materials, as well as the optimization of industrial
processes."
