NEW: Detect & Map Light Elements Down to Carbon with the Bruker M4 TORNADO PLUS Micro-XRF

It’s now possible to detect and map super light elements down to carbon with micro-XRF. This is a world first for the new Bruker M4 TORNADOPLUS, which also offers twice the throughput compared to standard systems and a new Aperture Management System for enhanced depth of field and resolution.

Blue Scientific is the official distributor for Bruker Micro-XRF in the UK, Ireland and Nordic region (Norway, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark). For more information or quotes, please get in touch.

Micro-XRF in Geology

Light element detection enables clear differentiation between materials such as fluorite and calcite, which were previously indistinguishable with micro-XRF.

Bruker M4 TORNADOPLUS

The new Bruker M4 TORNADOPLUS is the world’s first micro-XRF spectrometer that can detect and analyse of the entire element range from carbon to americium. Previously it was not possible to detect light elements, but with the new system you can measure and map super light elements down to carbon.

The M4 TORNADOPLUS is the latest system in Bruker’s market-leading M4 TORNADO series of micro-XRF analysers. It builds on established technology, with added features including:

  • Innovative aperture management system
    • Enhanced depth of field
    • Ideal for samples with topography
  • Ultra-high throughput pulse processor
  • Quick-change sample stage

New Micro-XRF Applications

The new light element capabilities open up a whole new range of applications for micro-XRF, including:

  • Mining, minerals and geoscience
    • Differentiate carbonates, oxides, nitrites and fluorites
  • Life science and metallomics
    • Study the elemental composition of any biological matrix in clinical, pharmaceutical and life science
  • Semiconductors & microelectronics
    • Nitride and oxide based semiconductor research
    • Enhanced depth of field for focussing on electronic components
  • Quality control
    • In many fields including glass, coatings, failure analysis, cement and ceramics
  • Polymers
