Top Performance in Elemental Analysis

Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) with the S2 PUMA, from Bruker AXS (Germany) ,offers all you need to measure and monitor elements in your samples, independent of the industry or environment in which you are working. The outstanding strength of EDXRF is the wide range of elements covered by the technique, from very light elements like C, to heavy elements like U.

HighSense is the key to the unrivaled analytical performance of the S2 PUMA. The instrument's direct excitation beam path makes full use of the 50-watt power of the X-ray tube. The optimal excitation of all elements in the sample is guaranteed with up to 50 kV voltage. The high countrate, high-resolution XFlash silicon drift detector (SDD) further enhances the instrument's performance and records sample spectra in HD mode. But that’s not all. With the all-new instrument X-ray optics, the distances between the X-ray tube, the sample and the detector are even shorter than before. This results in better detection limits, higher precision and shorter measurement times.

The S2 PUMA analyses each sample with the optimal method: Liquids are analysed under helium atmosphere, while solids are run under vacuum. This is essential to get the best performance for lighter elements. The S2 PUMA's optional vacuum pump eliminates the need for helium when light elements in solid samples are analysed. There is simply no other EDXRF instrument as efficient as the S2 PUMA!

In process control every minute counts! Whenever you receive a sample, results are needed fast. The S2 PUMA Single is the perfect tool: Load the sample, touch the button and get results within minutes. Best quality results as easy as 1-2-3, thanks to TouchControl, the S2 PUMA’s intuitive user interface.

Instrument uptime is crucial in every laboratory. But you can rely on the S2 PUMA with Bruker’s unique SampleCare technology. SampleCare protects the instrument from damage due to sample contamination. The integrated liquid sample detection of the EasyLoad XY Autochanger disables the vacuum mode whenever a liquid sample is detected.

The S2 PUMA delivers both, analytical performance and certainty that the process is in under control. No matter if analysing fuels acc. ASTM D 4294, additives in lubricating oils acc ASTM D 6481 or polymers acc. ASTM F 2617, based on S2 PUMA’s results the final product quality is ensured.
