2016年9月15日

KENNEWICK, Wash., 2016年9月15日/PRNewswire/ -- Bruker today introduces the newT赛车手5ihandheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) elemental analyzer. The newT赛车手5iis more sensitive, flexible and field interactive, while retaining the unique advantages and comprehensive analytical software that the previousTRACERmodel has been recognized for. The newT赛车手5iincorporates a more powerful tube and detector, an automated filter wheelanda manual filter slot, selectable collimation, Bruker'spatentedSharpBeamoptimized geometry, pressure and temperature compensation, an internal VGA CMOS camera, an interactive touchscreen with point-and-shoot capability, and Wi-Fi & Bluetooth connectivity.

New TRACER 5i handheld XRF analyzer

In addition, theT赛车手5iprovides added convenience for in-situ use, such as anEasyAccess™rail mount and the ambidextrousRelaxed Grip Strap™.TheT赛车手5iretains the unique ability to use an air, vacuum or helium beam path and interactive control of the measurement excitation conditions for optimized data collection, especially for light elements, such as sodium. The new PC software preserves theTRACER's comprehensive ARTAX™ analytical software features for complex materials, but has a more streamlined workflow, and now incorporatesEasyCal™software to provide simple correlation fits for standard materials.

The newTRACER 5icovers a wide range of applications and materials from everyday point-and-shoot testing to the ever-changing complexities of advanced applications and research. Whether it is in art conservation and archaeology, in teaching applications, in food safety and agriculture applications, in energy or mineral exploration, or in electronics materials research — the TRACER 5i can thoroughly and accurately analyze the elemental composition and identify standard or complex materials. The TRACER 5i is capable of analyzing a vast range of sample types, including liquids, slurries, powders, soil, sediment, sludge, cellulose, polymers, paper, solids, metals and alloys.

An early adopter of Bruker'sTracertechnology, Dr. Marco Leona, the David H. Koch Scientist in Charge of Scientific Researchat the Metropolitan Museum of Artand lecturer in Instrumental Analysis at the Conservation Center of New York University'sInstitute of Fine Arts, commented: "I am impressed with the thoughtfulness of design and the overall improved user interface and performance of theT赛车手5i."

Another early adopter ofTracertechnology, Dr. Aniko Bezur, the Wallace S. Wilson Director of Scientific Research, Technical Studies Laboratory, Yale Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage, and co-developer of the XRF Boot Camp for Conservatorswith the Getty Conservation Institute, stated: "It was good to see that the TRACER 5iincorporates suggestions we made at the early design stage. I really like some of the time saving features such as the ability to select beam filters on the fly without moving the instrument away from the artwork we are analyzing, and the untethered sample spot positioning. I am particularly pleased about the integration with ARTAX™ software and the ability to save and use custom methods to operate the unit."

Terry Smith, Director of R&D for Bruker'sHandheld-Mobile-Portable XRF Business, added: "The originalTRACERhas been a popular product for many years, providing the trained user with far more capability than traditional point-and-shoot handhelds. Our experienced handheld XRF development team is excited to launch the newT赛车手5i包含用户experience suggestions fromTRACERcustomers with particularly complex and varied measurement requirements."

The newT赛车手5icomplements Bruker'sindustrially focused line of handheld XRF analyzers, the S1TITAN Series, and is designed for customers who need both point-and-shoot solutions, as well as specialized analysis. Please visit our website for additional information at:www.energie2point0.com/tracer
