Bruker Introduces the Q6 NEWTON™ OES Benchtop Solution for Metal Analysis

KARLSRUHE, Germany – June 07, 2024 – Bruker, a global leader in analytical instrumentation, announces the launch of the Q6 NEWTON™ benchtop spark Optical Emission Spectrometer (OES) designed to greatly improve alloy composition analysis in the metals industry. With its cutting-edge features and performance, the Q6 NEWTON empowers metallurgists and technicians to achieve precision, speed, and reliability like never before with a benchtop instrument.

The Q6 NEWTON combines several innovations into a seamless package, ensuring optimal results for every analytical task. At the heart of the Q6 NEWTON lies the HighSense™ detection technology. This remarkable technology enhances sensitivity, allowing the spectrometer to detect even trace elements with unparalleled precision and speed. No matter whether complex alloys or routine samples are analyzed, the Q6 NEWTON delivers outstanding data quality and reliable results across a wide range of element concentrations.

The maintenance-free SmartSpark™ source produces an ultra-stable plasma and guarantees high precision. The ArgonShield™ protects both optical windows from contamination and prolongs instrument maintenance cycles.

RockSteady™ actively manages thermal stability and eliminates drifts caused by temperature fluctuations. This results in fast operational readiness and analytical long-term stability under a wide ambient temperature range, which is often found in industrial environments like foundries.

With a single push of a button, an automated sample clamp, and SafeGuard™, using an optical emission spectrometer has never been easier. SafeGuard not only ensures operational safety but also continuously monitors plasma quality.

Dr. Peter Paplewski, Product Line Manager for Bruker’s OES analysis business, commented: “The Q6 NEWTON is rapid, reliable, and always ready. With its ultrashort analysis time, market leading limits of detection, and highest reliability, the Q6 NEWTON is extending the capabilities of benchtop metal analyzers. The combination of HighSense technology, SmartSpark excitation, and RockSteady design allows to reach performance levels even challenging the data quality of floor standing systems. Reliable, high precision analysis is now available for every foundry and production floor.”
