• Broad concentration range from 100% down to the trace level (ppm)
• The best analytical accuracy and precision
• Simple and fast sample preparation
• High grade of analytical flexibility
• Easy integration to any kind of process automation

Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometers

Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometers (WDXRF) are known for their unrivalled accuracy, precision and reliability. WDXRF spectrometers have met the needs of many industrial applications, where robust instrumentation and high precision are the keys to success.

Mineral-processing wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer

The S8 TIGER sequential WDXRF provides outstanding superior analytical performance for the most demanding mineral and mining applications: This analytical performance results from the innovative optimized X-ray optics. Unique features of the S8 TIGER include TouchControl™ and SampleCare™, combining extreme ease-of-use and robust reliability with superior analytical performance.

TouchControl is essential for easy and fail-safe operation, yet its ease-of-use means the required training for occasional and inexperienced users is absolutely minimal. The unique SampleCare feature automatically recognizes samples and the integrated contamination shields protect the S8 TIGER against all kinds of contamination, ensuring maximum uptime and availability.

Cement, minerals and mining industry rapid WDXRF spectrometer

The new S8 LION WDXRF spectrometer provides the fastest time-to-result for process and quality control in the cement, minerals and mining industries.

Based on multichannel technology, the S8 LION delivers very precise and accurate results, within the shortest measurement time, for up to 16 elements. For the cement industry the S8 LION can additionally measure the free lime concentration in raw materials, intermediate compounds and final products. High savings on energy costs and reduction of CO2 emissions are achievable with these results.

SampleCare ensures maximum uptime and productivity using a tube-above-sample setup that protects it from all kinds of contamination. Dedicated to industrial use the S8 LION combines ease-of-use with the highest analytical speed and reliability. Several languages are available for its interface: English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian and Portuguese.

The simultaneous WDXRF spectrometer S8 LION is the perfect analytical tool for rapid, precise and reliable process and quality control for the industry.
