Overview

1pg limit of detection: Outstanding microanalytical performance

90 samples capacity: Designed for multi-user operation and 24/7 routine with guaranteed data quality

20mins process time: No digestion, no calibration required, direct analysis with results on the spot

 

Rapid and Cost-efficient TXRF - an Alternative to ICP

The S4 T-STAR® is a versatile tool for the analysis of a broad range of sample types including suspensions, powders, nanoparticles or films. This puts it ahead of ICP, which requires fully dissolved liquid samples.

  • The  TXRF spectrometer S4 T-STAR® offers lowest detection limits in the sub-ppb range.
  •  TXRF offers lowest operation costs and does not require, gases, media or sophisticated lab infrastructures.
  • The automatic quality control feature provides confidence in data and instrument quality.
  • The system is optimized for 24/7 operation in industrial routine analysis.
  • Bruker's wide selection of sample trays and tools accelerates sample preparation and minimizes errors and contamination risks.

 

Analytical Challenges in Pharma, Medical and Environmental Research

  • The S4 T-STAR® provides a powerful solution for water, effluent, air and soil analysis for the recovery of a healthy environment; for example, environmental monitoring by direct measurement of contaminants in wastewater, slurries and effluents in the low ppb range.
  • The TXRF spectrometer accelerates biomedical research for tomorrow’s healthy society. New insights into the development of cancer, Alzheimer’s disease or dementia are based on a deeper knowledge of the function of essential and toxic metals.
  • The S4 T-STAR® measures catalyzer elements in pharmaceutical research according to the values given by US and EU Pharmacopeia guidelines; for example, detection of sub-ppm catalyzer elements in active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and additives. 
  • TXRF is a powerful technology for food fraud prevention in globalized supply chains; for example, food safety according to FAO/WHO standards.
