Product details
Bruker TRACER 5i Handheld
Bruker TRACER 5i Handheld portable spectrometer ideal for elemental analysis in the field and in laboratory-like settings. Specifically designed for methods development, research and complex material analysis, the TRACER 5i detects elements from Sodium to Uranium and analyzes elements from Magnesium to Uranium.
Latest Technology for Advanced Materials Applications
Advanced material, art and archeology users have long seen the TRACER 5i as unique in its ability to provide elemental information regarding objects which require authentication and conservation.
The TRACER 5i features a 8 μm beryllium detector window, an integrated touchscreen display, 50kV X-ray tube, SharpBeam™ front end geometry (for maximizing count rate and light elemental sensitivity), large area silicon drift detector (SDD) with CUBE™ technology (maximizes count rate and light element sensitivity), selectable spot sizes (including 3 and 8 mm collimators) and is capable of operating in air, helium or vacuum environments.
Integrated Camera
The TRACER 5i offers an internal VGA CCD camera with adjustable lighting with the ability to store up to 5 photos per assay.
Connectivity
The TRACER 5i offers Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and USB connectivity. Data can be stored on a thumb drive and transferred to PC as needed.
Software
Each TRACER 5i ships with ARTAX™ software for advanced XRF spectral analysis and also allows for the handling of large data sets and remote control of the instrument. EasyCal™ software is also included for off-line user-created single phase/beam empirical calibrations.
Applications
Art Conservation & Authentication – Evaluate pigments & objects for authentication, dating & understand previous conservation. Also used for determining authenticity, fabrication details and finding non-original material.
Exploratory Geology – Analyze Geochemistry including ores, cores, drill cuttings, soil and sediment
Archeological Studies – Sourcing of obsidian, lithic and ceramics in addition to determining authenticity, proper conservation, and toxic materials analysis.
Food Safety – Quality analysis or raw or finished product, hazardous analysis, foreign body identification and fortificants.
Plant & Soil Health – Quality analysis of fertilizers/nutrients and heavy metals analysis
Material Science and Research – Across disciplines including chemistry, physics, agronomy, geology, and biology.
Education – In labs or field use including qualitative and quantitative analysis.
Other Applications – Analyzing alloys, precious metals and environmental assessments.
