S8 TIGER Series 2 – Take the Next Step
in Analytical Performance and Flexibility!

HighSense: Accuracy and precision are vital for industrial


quality and process control analytics. Close control levels
and tight sample grids in elemental analysis are the success
factors for better quality and cost efficiency. The S8 TIGER
WDXRF spectrometer is the ideal analytical tool for these
tasks: Thanks to HighSense technology it delivers the opti-
mal sensitivity for all elements from Beryllium (Be) to Amer-
icium (Am). HighSense technology includes new XS-Series
analyzer crystals, the HighSense counting electronics, and
the HighSense X-ray tubes. This enables the S8 TIGER
Series 2 to deliver a maximum performance for fastest
time-to-result, lowest detection limits, and best analytical
precision.
XRF2: Analytical flexibility is of foremost importance in
research and academia. The analysis of all materials,
including bulk samples, small particles or the analysis of
elemental distributions, are perfectly mastered with the
all-new S8 TIGER Series 2. With the HighSense beam path,
high-resolution WDXRF technology, and optimal detection of
light, medium, and heavy elements, the XRF2 mapping tool
of the S8 TIGER Series 2 delivers best sensitivity, smallest
spot size down to 300 µm, and highest resolution for small-
spot applications.
EZ Ergo: Ergonomic and failsafe usability is vital for oper-
ations efficiency and best analytical data. Ease-of-use
operation is guaranteed with the multilingual TouchControl
interface on the S8 TIGER Series 2. The EasyLoad mag-
azines allow easy handling of all sample types. Optimal
instrument uptime and low running cost are guaranteed by
SampleCare technology which protects the S8 TIGER Series
2 components.

Simply get the best with the S8 TIGER Series 2:

„„ Four position collimator changer enables users to make the optimal choice between intensity and
resolution. This is makes the S8 TIGER Series 2 the most flexible WDXRF system.
„„ The analyzer crystals play a crucial role: They break down the fluorescence spectrum into the specific
wavelengths for the elements: The advanced Bruker XS crystals are enhancing the S8 TIGER Series 2 in
sensitivity, detection limits, resolution, analysis speed and precision.
„„ For the detection of light elements a proportional counter and for the heavier elements a scintillation

Powered by AI

The S8 TIGER Series 2 is suitable for high-throughput analysis in industrial applications due to its HighSense technology, which provides rapid time-to-result and precise analysis across a wide range of elements. It employs the HighSense X-ray tubes and DynaMatc technology for fast excitation and processing, accommodating high sample loads. Additionally, its automation interfaces and sample handling innovations, such as EasyLoad and advanced crystal analytics, promote seamless workflow integration, vital for industrial efficiency .

The automatic mask changer benefits the S8 TIGER Series 2 by adjusting the mask size to match the sample, optimizing the intensity and resolution according to the needs of each analysis. This flexibility ensures higher efficiency, allowing for rapid adjustments and consistent quality of results across various samples without manual intervention. Furthermore, it increases the intensity in mapping by up to ten times compared to traditional systems .
