(Bruker: Wien, Austria) -- During the 2012 Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) Convention and Exposition held recently in Las Vegas, Bruker, a developer, manufacturer, and provider of scientific instruments and analytical services, introduced the S1 TITAN handheld XRF analyzer. The S1 TITAN is among the lightest (1.44 kg, including battery) tube-based handheld XRF analyzers on the market. It features an integrated touch screen color display, an up-to-50-kV X-ray tube, Bruker’s proprietary, high-speed XFlash SDD detector with high energy resolution and light-element capabilities, and an ergonomic housing that is sealed against humid and dusty environments.

The S1 TITAN is available in three models:
• The S1 TITANLE uses a thin film window for analysis of up to 37 elements, including light elements such as Mg, Al, and Si, without the need for a vacuum or helium gas flush.
• The S1 TITANSE is perfect for analyzing standard alloys, as well as high-temperature samples up to 500 EsC.
• The S1 TITANSP is a value analyzer with a traditional SiPIN detector. With its aluminized Kapton(R) window, the S1 TITANSP is able to measure in-process samples at temperatures up to 500 EsC.
