Bruker Elemental, Kennewick, Wash., introduces the second generation of its S1 Titan handheld XRF analyzer platform. Based on extensive customer feedback, enhancements include a weatherproof IP54-rated housing, and optional integrated camera and small spot collimator. In addition, the protective Titan Detector Shield has been made standard for all models. The patented SharpBeam collimator technology remains a standard feature in all S1 TITAN models. The SharpBeam optimized geometry has many benefits, including improved measurement precision, reduced power requirements, and longer battery life.
The new S1 TITAN is available in four configurations: S1 TITAN 200, 300, 600 and 800. S1 Titan 600 and 800 have a thin film window and FAST SDD detector for analysis of up to 37 elements, including light elements such as Mg, Al, and Si, without the need for a vacuum or helium gas flush. S1 Titan 200 and 300 are value analyzers with SiPIN detectors. When equipped with an aluminized Kapton window, the S1 is also able to measure in-process samples at temperatures up to 500°C.
The new S1 TITAN covers a wide range of applications and materials. Whether it’s in aerospace or automotive applications, in metals processing or fabrication, in electronics manufacturing, in a refinery, in a power plant, in mining, in recycling and scrap sorting, in consumer products testing, in field environmental analysis, or in the testing laboratory— the S1 Titan will quickly and accurately analyze the elemental composition and identify the alloys of your sample or parts being tested.
In addition, the S1 TITAN is available configured specifically to analyze precious metals. Given the current fluctuation in gold prices, knowing the exact concentration is critical. Handheld XRF is a very quick and easy way to measure the value of gold jewelry.
