The latest top tier releasesS8 TIGERSeries Introduction

Since Siemens introduced the world's first fully enclosed X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF) in the 1960s, there has been nearly 50 years of commercialization. Brooke AXS Company (formerly known as the X-ray Analysis Instrument Department of Siemens AG in Germany) has always adhered to the path of specialization and led the trend of X-ray analysis technology development. Based on the latest technology and in-depth understanding of user needs, design instruments and functions around the core of analysis and testing tasks. Today, S8 TIGER has once again pushed XRF analysis technology to a new historical stage in terms of sensitivity, accuracy, precision, safety, reliability, ease of operation, analysis speed, and fully functional analysis software.

lLow temperature X-ray tube

Ultra sharp end window ceramic light tube, 170mA ultra-high current, greatly improving the analytical ability of light elements. The higher the current, the higher the counting rate of light elements, the better the signal-to-noise ratio, the higher the sensitivity, and the higher the accuracy of analysis. A unique two-way water cooling system is used to cool the light tube. In addition to anode cooling, a special cooling circuit is added to the head of the light tube to avoid evaporation,The intensity of the light tube does not decay;To avoid the influence of light tube heat on the sample, improve the stability of volatile element measurement, and prevent surface deformation of low melting point samples that may reduce the precision of the results. Improved the safety of analyzing liquid samples and low melting point samples. For large volume and heat absorbing samples (such as metal samples), the samples will not become hot.

lHigh transparency vacuum sealing

When measuring liquid and loose powder samples, the program-controlled vacuum seal separates the sample chamber from the spectral chamber, allowing for quick switching between analysis of solid and liquid samples. Due to the fact that only a small sample chamber is filled with helium (nitrogen), vacuum sealing significantly reduces gas consumption, while the stability of the detector is higher and the precision of the results is better. During the measurement process, the unique vacuum seal can also protect the spectral chamber from contamination in the event of liquid sample leakage or dust samples. Vacuum sealing isS8 TIGERSample protection^TMPart of the package.

lHigh precision optical positioning angle measuring instrument

The high-precision optical positioning angle measuring instrument adopts professional diffraction technology, with high positioning accuracy. The angle measuring instrument directly reaches the preset angle, moves forward quickly and continuously without repeated adjustment, and runs for a long time without wear and tear. Angle accuracy is better than±0.001 °, with better angle reproducibility±0.0001 °.

lExclusive All Change Theoryαcoefficient method

By using the basic parameter method to calculate the correction coefficient of each sample separately, a comprehensive integrated matrix effect correction can be carried out, which is the theory of variationαCoefficient method. Its most significant advantages are: requiring fewer standard samples, more reliable calibration coefficients, the calibration curve can be appropriately extended, easy operation, not requiring a lot of experience to select influencing elements, and reliable results can be obtained for a wide range of materials and concentrations. Simultaneously compatible with fixed theoretical alpha coefficient method and empirical alpha coefficient method for matrix effect correction, the three correction modes can also be mixed and used. For fixed theory alpha coefficient method, variable theory alpha coefficient method, empirical coefficient method, and mixed correction method, only one user interface is needed to solve all problems, which is very easy to use.

lDynamic matching^TMfunction

Exclusive to allDynamic matching^TMFunction: The software automatically reduces the current to ensure that the count of high content elements does not exceed the physical limit of the detector, making the measurement more accurate. Low content elements are automatically measured under full power conditions, enabling accurate measurement of trace elements as well. The linear range of the detector using dynamic matching function can reach over 10 Mcps. The dynamic matching function can analyze samples from trace to trace using the same spectral lines100%The components within the range of content. The system will automatically adjust the current to ensure that the detector operates within a linear range. Analyze the content inppmHorizontal (counting only a few photons per second) to100%Samples with counts of millions of photons per second do not require further adjustments. The dynamic matching function ensures that each element is measured under optimal conditions, thereby achieving non equal power dynamic free switching.

lAngle offset correction

Correcting peak displacement caused by differences in valence state and mineral sources results in more accurate measurement results.Unique technology

lGeometric correction

By diameter–thickness–Density, diameter–thickness–Quality or diameter–quality–Three sample preparation options for density not achievedXGeometric correction is performed on samples with saturated depth of radiation penetration to obtain more accurate measurement results.Unique technology

lCrescent effect correction

Liquid samples usually exhibit a crescent effect: the liquid surface is concave rather than flat, which will result in errors in calculating composition (incorrect sample height). Adding a crescent effect correction function can eliminate this error.

lSample preparation and calibration software

For the sample preparation method that requires the addition of adhesive for molten or powder samples, the method of arbitrary ratio, arbitrary weighing, and accurate input is adopted, with small weighing errors and fast weighing speed. Different sample preparation methods can share the same working curve.Unique technology

lP10Gas density stabilizer

existP10A gas density stabilizer is installed between the gas cylinder and the flow proportional counter to maintain a constant gas density in the detector, ensuring higher precision of the measurement results. The flow counter adopts digital pressure control for more precise control.

lHigh stability spectral chamber

The temperature stability of the spectral chamber is better than ±0.05℃ avoids temperature changes that cause changes in the interplanar spacing of the spectroscopic crystal, thereby avoiding changes in the photon diffraction angle of the measured element.

lUsing vacuum degree control measurement

For solid samples, vacuum degree control is used for measurement, and measurement only begins when the preset vacuum degree is reached to avoid differences in intensity counting caused by inconsistent vacuum degrees during the initial stage of vacuuming for moisture absorbing samples.

lIn situ sampling system

S8 TIGERThe direct injection technique is adopted, which means that the sample is directly loaded into the measuring position of the instrument to ensure that the distance between the sample and the light tube does not change. The sample chamber using this direct injection method can be designed to be compact while ensuring fast and reliable vacuuming and helium filling. Traditional spectrometers use a sample turntable system for sample injection, where2The problem of inaccurate positioning often occurs in a certain location,Minor changes in the distance between the light tube and the sample can reduce the accuracy of the analysis, requiring maintenance or abandoning the second position of the sample turntable.At the same time, this design inevitably expands the volume of the sample chamber and increases the injection mechanismHigh precision direct injection - sample positioning without tolerance
