Bruker Daltonics will host a Users Symposium on Sunday 1 June to introduce Maxis, a novel high-speed, ultra high resolution time-of-flight (UHR-tof) mass spectrometer to the marketplace
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 and SampleCare, 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.
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". Request a free brochure from Bruker Daltonics ...
