Spectrometry Solutions Innovation with Integrity

T ouch the S8TIGER((( and control its power Instrument development begins with an analysis of users’ needs and analytical requirements. What are their tasks and questions and what answers can we provide? Which solutions will exceed their expectations? In elemental analysis the analytical task is clear: which elements are in the sample and what are their respective concentrations? The answers to these questions must meet the highest requirements with respect to accuracy, sensitivity and reliability. However, users also expect the best solutions for more practical problems: How can I reduce the...

S8 TIGER – control its power

XRF – source of speed and power The primary advantage of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis is that it is independent of the chemical bonding of the elements in the sample. Other methods, such as ICP and AAS, require time-consuming, expensive and hazardous sample preparation techniques. XRF , however, can directly analyze each element without destroying the sample. With XRF measuring any type of solid or liquid is , as easy as 1-2-3. Why is XRF so easy? In XRF the sample is excited with a primary X-ray beam, , causing the sample to fluorescence. The primary X-rays eject electrons out of the inner...

How does X-ray fluorescence (XRF) work? Bromine atom Ejected electron N M L K 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 independent of the atom’s chemical...

Speed & Power The goal of any analysis is to produce the most accurate results in the shortest possible time. In elemental analysis, speed leads to the shortest time-to-result and the highest sample throughput. Speed, accuracy and reliability demand outstanding technology. S8 TIGER – Speed meets power.
