S2 RANGER – Leading the performance class Time is money! And so as not to take up too much of your time, we have done something slightly unusual. We have placed a short description of users who will not purchase our system right at the beginning of this brochure. If you find yourself here, then we part ways now and thank you for spending a moment. Here is the short check: You can stop reading if you are not interested in reliable, stable results. Also please lay this brochure aside if you are only interested in investigating a single element or a single sample type, both today and for the next...

This is how easy multielement analysis can be. What do you think of when you hear the term multielement analysis? Inserting a sample into a spectrometer, moving to the computer, programming it with a whole series of measurement conditions, and interpreting a confusing table of numbers? If so, you are quite right – with other systems, that is how X-ray fluorescence (XRF) usually works. With TouchControl XRF works better and easier by far. Simply insert your sample, start your measurement on the integrated touchscreen and get color-coded results. TouchControl means no time-consuming training, no...

1 Name a new standard 2 Select units – ppm or % Tailoring your own system made easy We have already shown you how fast and simple your daily work can be thanks to TouchControl. But what about calibration, the selection of measurement parameters, analyzing standards and setting up drift corrections? Or, to put it in different terms, how can the S2 RANGER be adapted to special tasks? Two options: you can either rely on us and use one of our special, ready-made application packages, or you can create your own application. The requirements of the cement industry, petrochemistry and geology are each...

How does X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) work? Bromine atom X-ray fluorescence Kα X-ray The sample is bombarded with X-rays. This excites the sample to generate X-ray fluorescence. The X-rays “shoot” individual electrons out of the atoms of the elements, primarily out of the inner atomic shells K and L. The resulting vacancies are filled up again by electrons from higher energy shells. The excess energy of these electrons is then emitted in the form of X-ray fluorescence radiation. This radiation is characteristic for each element like a fingerprint and virtually independent of the atom’s chemical bond....
