Bruker AXS Launches Innovative S8 TIGER X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectrometer for Elemental Analysis in Industrial Applications
ORLANDO, Fla. - March 13, 2006 - At Pittcon 2006, Bruker AXS Inc. today launches its new S8 TIGER(TM) X-ray spectrometer for high-performance elemental analysis in various industrial applications, including petrochemistry, cement and mining. The S8 TIGER wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometer is an innovative high-end system with numerous new and unique advantages, complementing Bruker AXS' well established S4 and S2 lines of XRF systems. The S8 TIGER analyzes all elements from Beryllium to Uranium in a wide variety of sample types. It is designed for demanding applications in industrial process and quality control, and as a powerful elemental analysis tool in research and development departments.
Unique features of the S8 TIGER include TouchControl(TM) and SampleCare(TM), combining extreme ease of use and robust reliability with cutting-edge analytical performance. TouchControl responds to customer requests for facile and fail-safe operation. By using an integrated touch screen and dedicated user interface, TouchControl defines a new standard in ease of use for a high-end XRF system. This enables our industrial customers to deploy the S8 TIGER in a manner where untrained users can operate the instrument after receiving only brief instructions. The unique SampleCare feature automatically recognizes liquid samples and its integrated protection seal protects the S8 TIGER against all kinds of contamination, ensuring maximum uptime and availability.
The outstanding analytical performance of the S8 TIGER results from the innovative optimized X-ray optics. While the new high-intensity X-ray tube excites the sample even more efficiently, novel analyzer crystals have been developed for different elements and specific applications in order to improve detection limits, precision and resolution.
Dr. Heiko Ress, XRF Marketing Manager for Bruker AXS, comments: "With the new intuitive TouchControl operation of our S8 TIGER, the required training for occasional and inexperienced users is absolutely minimized. Its combination with our new SampleCare protection leads to unrivalled fail-safe operation, and provides our industrial customers with a faster return on their investment. In good Bruker AXS tradition, all these innovative ease of use and uptime features, plus the high analytical performance come in a very compact, attractive industrial design. The new S8 TIGER is clearly in a class of its own."
Pittcon 2006, the 57th Pittsburgh Conference and Exposition on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy, is being held from March 13-16 in Orlando, Florida in the Orange County Convention Center. The product introduced here will be exhibited at the Bruker AXS booth #3155.
