Q6 NEWTON

Over 300 years ago, Sir Isaac Newton published research into the properties of light. This included the discovery that light can be divided into its constituent wavelengths, a process also fundamental to Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES).

Nowadays, combined with modern technology the Q6 NEWTON offers a fast and reliable 24/7 industrial solution from the foundry floor to the metallurgical laboratory. Bruker is intimately familiar with metal applications, offers top-of-the-line instrumentation, and a global support network.

We haven't changed science like Isaac Newton, but with the Q6 NEWTON we make a metallurgist's life better, faster and easier than ever before.

Q4 POLO - Little Space, Mighty Performance

In history, it is often the small things or individuals that change the world – people like Marco Polo. He blazed completely new trails, covered huge distances and opened up new possibilities for the world.

In the development of our Q4 POLO, we too have opened up new dimensions, perfected and thought through every last detail. The result is a spark spectrometer that is second to none.

No other system offers better analytical performance in such a small and highly functional package. From very light lithium (Li) to heavy bismuth (Bi), the small Q4 POLO guarantees enormous performance and applications that were previously unthinkable in the compact instrument class.

Q4 TASMAN Series 2 – Ready-to-Use Benchtop Metals Analyzer

Continuous Development

For thousands of years, metals and alloys have played a prominent role in the evolutionary history of humanity and have given names to entire epochs. Nowadays, our world is still made of metals and the metals evolution continues. There are more than 3,500 different grades of steel available with 60% developed in the last four years. New applications like energy storage, additive manufacturing, and biomedical devices continuously drive the development of new alloys.

To keep pace in business where profitability is a major concern, foundries and metal processing companies rely on fast, accurate elemental analysis. Measurements are required at numerous points in the process, from incoming materials to in-process testing to final quality inspection. Traceability is another critical consideration. At every step, managers must be able to document elements in every product, from primary to final form. And since time always counts, rapid analysis is vital on today’s fast-moving foundry floor.

For more than two decades, Bruker Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES) elemental analyzers have been applied by foundries and metal processors worldwide, exceeding the analytical requirements. Just as the development on the metals side progresses, Bruker continuously drives the improvement of innovative solutions that let you achieve your goals faster, more reliably, and more cost-effectively than before. The new Q4 TASMAN Series 2 is the latest result of our striving for perfection.

Xraman, our advanced prototype developed to achieve a perfect combination of complementary techniques XRF and Raman on the same spot in position ad size. This instrument has been engineered to be absolutely portable and to be able to work on site with standard atmospheric conditions.

IRIS is the brand new advanced prototype system designed to combine XRF and NIR imaging information. The system has been designed to be very flexible and portable capable to work onsite on samples of any dimension and shape.

A new combined portable open beam XRF-XRD system for contemporary compositional and structural study of art objects. The point of measurement is exactly the same as a single excitation source is used while measurements are performed on two separate state of the art detectors.

Is an innovative portable spectrometer designed to performin-situ, fast and non-destructive combined elemental and chemical structural analyses, by the complementary EDXRF and XRD techniques.

In particular, the system has been developed specifically for cultural heritage application and it is a brand-new advanced prototype solution from the Bruker Engineering Special labs. The output information delivered by the instrument includes both XRF spectrum and XRD diffraction patterns from the same analysis point.

Hydra comes with a software for complete instrument control, XRF spectra and XRD diffractogram visualization and export in various formats.

The M6 JETSTREAM expands the capabilities of micro-XRF to large and heavy samples in many fields of scientific research. Often, the size and fragility of such samples only allows horizontal positioning and measurements in top-down geometry. The flexibility of the M6 JETSTREAM opens up the possibility to create compositional overview images of samples ranging from fossils over geological samples to technical components. This allows measurements previously only possible at synchrotron facilities.

Micro-XRF on large samples (also called macro-XRF or MA-XRF) has become a decisive method for the analysis of paintings, geological samples, archeological artifacts and industrial components. The M6 JETSTREAM drives these analyses to the highest speed and accuracy. With its mobile wheelbase and adjustable frame, the M6 JETSTREAM can be used on-site instead of transporting the sample to the lab.

It can measure upright samples or horizontal surfaces with scannable area up to 800 x 600 mm². Dual detectors can be mounted in M6 Jetstream to help the user get a lot of information and improved scan speed.
