MultiVision
The Q4 TASMAN Series 2 features an innovative dual-optics concept called MultiVision. This gives you the option of three variants tailored to your individual analytical requirements. It’s also more reliable, with low argon gas consumption for reduced cost of ownership.
Other New Features
- Optimised digital spark source (SmartSpark).
- Improved coaxial argon flow design for higher precision, long-term stability and shorter time-to-results.
- Easy sample handling with a pneumatically-driven sample clamp on the spark stand.
- Accepts a wide variety of samples.
Ready to Go with Analytical Packages
The analytical range has been extended to include new elements and alloy types.
Dedicated analytical solution packages are available for all ten common metal bases across the entire metals industry. These packages include full element sets, calibrations, alloy groups and standardisation samples.
With these packages, the new system is ready to analyse, enabling you to obtain reliable, complete analytical results straight away.
Software
Bruker’s next-generation OES software ELEMENTAL.SUITE version 3 provides a high degree of functionality. The powerful analysis viewer has convenient grouping and filtering tools. It’s easy to use; many useful features are only a click away:
- Export results to LIMS or L2 systems.
- Report generation.
- Generate control charts.
Access the most comprehensive materials database, with more than 350,000 alloys from over 75 countries.

Webinar
Bruker will be launching the new system in a webinar on Thursday, 10th December 2020. They’ll introduce the new features and technical improvements, and explain how they benefit a range of metal applications, including iron and steel, aluminium, copper, and other non-ferrous metals, across the metal processing and foundry industry.
UPDATE: The date of this event has now passed. For more information about the Q4 Tasman system, please get in touch.
