Quick and Easy, Accurate and Precise Quantitative Elemental Analysis of Hydrocarbons

X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) is used in the hydrocarbon processing industry and related branches for trace element determination in all kinds of petrochemical materials. Often a single instrument has to provide full analytical flexibility and performance for all applications in quality and process control, research and development, fulfilling future demands and decreasing limit values for regulated elements. Bruker AXS (Germany) offers the WDXRF spectrometer S8 TIGER with its innovative, optimised X-ray optics and user interface matching all needs in petrochemical labs.

While the S8 TIGER’s low temperature, high-intensity X-ray tube with protective coating excites the sample even more efficiently, the combination of the tube with the shortest beam path leads to the highest possible element sensitivities. The versatile beam path and wide selection of different crystals and collimators provide advanced analytical flexibility even for the most demanding applications.

Thanks to SampleCare users in the petro chemistry can rely on the S8 TIGER 100%. SampleCare constantly protects all important system components from contamination, which might lead to incorrect results or in the worst case to system stoppage. The S8 TIGER with SampleCare prevents this safely in 4 ways: The DuraBeryllium tube shield protect the head of the X-ray tube; the mask changer and the unique vacuum seal protect the goniometer chamber. If, by chance anything should go wrong during preparation, and the sample breaks or leaks out, it is not a problem. System components are well protected, easy to access and can be cleaned with little effort.
