Where can the S8 TIGER Series 2 help you to advance?
Minerals, Mining, Geology
The S8 TIGER Series 2 is the ideal WDXRF instrument for geological monitoring and mineral applications covering almost the entire periodic table. With its unrivalled analytical flexibility it detects major elements and traces in one run. With the selection of high resolution analyzer crystals, such as the LiF 220 and the high intensity crystal XS-400, it enables geologists to get the entire information they need.
Cement & Construction Materials
The S8 TIGER Series 2 is the perfect choice for the laboratories in cement plants: With HighSense WDXRF technology and the specialized analyzer crystal XS-CEM it delivers the precision for all process materials (raw materials, raw mix, clinker, hot meal, cement) and secondary materials (blast furnace slags, AFR’s). Special requirements, such as trace element detection in alternative fuels and green eco cement or sulfur speciation is done easily with the S8 TIGER Series 2.
Petrochemistry & Polymers
There is no better instrument than the S8 TIGER Series 2 for all petrochemical WDXRF applications. Safe liquid sample handling with DirectLoading, SampleCare and automatic liquid sample detection high instrument uptime is guaranteed. The low temperature tube head and atmospheric helium mode are enabling even the safe analysis of volatile samples, such as fuels and the detection limit of sulfur in gasoline with 0.2 ppm (100s @ 4kW with XS-GE-C) calls for world record! Two helium modes and the small sample chamber are the main reasons for the unique low cost of operation – the maximum mileage with one bottle of helium! The analysis of impurities in virgin polymers at sub-ppm level or additives in filled plastics up to several % - all this is mastered with the S8 TIGER Series 2. Catalysts with best precision and quick monitoring of toys for toxic elements is done with a simple touch on the TouchControl interface – the analytical performance of the S8 TIGER Series 2 is on spot for all these tasks.
Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals
Quality and process control of all relevant materials in metal production is a straight-forward job with the S8 TIGER Series 2. Based on HighSense technology it provides a maximum intensity to achieve best counting statistics for all important elements. A plus on precision and instrument uptime comes with the DirectLoading of the S8 TIGER. The S8 TIGER Series 2 provides the analytical flexibility one need for all materials ranging from metals, refractories, additives and slags. At the same time different sample types – solids, pressed pellets, fused beads and liquids (oils) are handled safely and quickly.
Research & Development, Academia
The S8 TIGER Series 2 is the ideal WDXRF instrument to serve scientist in R&D and academia solving the most challenging tasks. With HighSense technology, its unrivalled analytical flexibility and the optimal conditions for light elements the S8 TIGER Series proves to deliver spot on results! QUANT-EXPRESS fully integrated standard solution extends the analytical flexibility when adding elements to user calibrated applications. An easy way to master non-routine challenges! XRF2 small spot mapping with 300 nm spot size and 100 nm step size enables small spot mapping with best light element sensitivity of WDXRF, optimal resolution better than EDXRF and better detection limits for heavy elements due to the HighSense optics. An indispensable tool for archaeology, batteries, electronics and new materials!
