Instrument development begins
with an analysis of users’ needs and
analytical requirements. What are their
tasks and questions and what answers
can we provide? Which solutions will
exceed their expectations?
In element analysis the analytical
task is clear: which elements are in the
sample and what are their respective
concentrations? The answers to these
questions must meet the highest require-
ments with respect to accuracy, sensitivity
and reliability.
However, users also expect the best
solutions for more practical problems:
How can I reduce the time from sampling
to result? What types of samples can I
run and what is the easiest method I can
use? How can I increase my sample
throughput and decrease my operating
costs? Is there an instrument that is easy
to use and meets my industrial require-
ments?
The solution is surprisingly simple:
Elemental analysis with X-ray fluores-
cence allows you to reach your goals
more rapidly, reliably and economically
than any other method. No other system
combines flexibility, trouble-free operation
and usability like the S8 TIGER.

The primary advantage of X-ray
fluorescence (XRF) analysis is that
it is totally independent of the chemical
bonding of the elements in the sample.
Other methods, such as ICP and AAS,
require time consuming, expensive and
hazardous sample preparation tech-
niques. XRF, however, can directly
analyze each element without destroying
the sample. With XRF, measuring any
type of solid or liquid is as easy as 1-2-3.
Why is XRF so easy? In XRF the
sample is excited with a primary X-ray
beam, causing the sample to fluoresce.
The primary X-rays eject electrons out of
the inner atomic shells (K- and L-shell).
The resulting “vacancy” is filled by an
electron from an outer atomic shell.
This electron transition takes place only
between the inner shells of the atom,
which are not involved in chemical
bonding. Due to the independency of
chemical bonding the samples can be
analysed directly without advanced
sample preparation. This makes XRF the
method of choice for elemental analysis.
How does XRF analyse elements?
During electron transition, an electron
drops from a higher to a lower energy
atomic shell to fill the vacancy. The
difference in energy is released as X-ray
fluorescence radiation. This radiation has
a characteristic wavelength for each
element. XRF uses these different charac-
teristic wavelengths or energies for
elemental analysis.
What XRF techniques are avail-
able? There are two different techniques.
Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence
(EDXRF) analysis simultaneously acquires
all X-ray energies emitted from the
sample. The characteristic energies are
separated using a single X-ray detector in
a fixed position. In contrast, wavelength
dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF)
analysis separates the characteristic
wavelengths with a very high degree of
resolution. Optimised analyser crystals
and detectors are used to separate and
count the emitted X-rays. WDXRF is
unsurpassed in analytical accuracy and
precision.

The goal of any analysis is to produce
the most accurate results in the shortest possible
time. In elemental analysis, speed leads to the
shortest time-to-result and the highest sample
throughput. Speed, accuracy and reliability
demand outstanding technology.
S8 TIGER – Speed meets power.

Light and heavy elements, solids
and liquids, ppb to 100 %... the
demands made on XRF are challenging
and diverse. In order to provide the
perfect solution to any analytical ques-
tion, we have integrated leading-edge
technology in the S8 TIGER.
Our technology starts at the source,
the X-ray tube. The high intensity X-ray
source provides the specific excitation
energy for every element; high-energy
X-rays for the analysis of heavy elements,
and low-energy X-rays for light elements.
You get distinctly improved detection
limits for all elements throughout the peri-
odic table.
To prevent air from absorbing the fluo-
rescent X-rays, solids are measured in a
vacuum and liquids and loose powders
are measured in a Helium atmosphere.
With the S8 TIGER the change between
the different modes is very fast and reli-
able. In addition, both the X-ray tube and
the beam path are shielded against cont-
amination. The high transmission vacuum
seal - unique to our spectrometers -
protects the sensitive components in the
spectrometer chamber even during
actual measurements. In the event of
sample breakage or leakage due to
improper preparation, the sample cham-
ber is easily accessible for cleaning.
Prior to measuring liquids and loose
powders, the S8 TIGER only needs to
flush the sample chamber with Helium.
While this is a matter of seconds with
our system, the same procedure can
easily take up to fifteen minutes with
conventional systems that need to purge
the entire goniometer chamber. The
advantages of the S8 TIGER are easily
apparent: switching between solid,
powder and liquid samples as needed
without time-outs, extremely low Helium
consumption and absolute protection of
the goniometer chamber.
In wavelength dispersive XRF,
analyser crystals are of vital importance.
The S8 TIGER is equipped with up to
eight high-performance crystals, each
optimised for a specific element range
and application. The benefits are
outstanding resolution of adjacent peaks
from different elements and minimum
detection limits down to the ppb level.
After diffraction by the analyser crys-
tal, the X-ray signal is collected by the
detector. With the S8 TIGER, innovative
proportional counters with and without
the need to purge detector gas are
available for analysing light elements.
Sophisticated scintillation counters are
available for the analysis of heavy
elements.
To ensure the best precison and accu-
racy, the spectrometer components inter-
act seamlessly. All moving parts of the
high precision mechanical goniometer on
the S8 TIGER are synchronized by elec-
tronic gearing. The S8 TIGER is a true
powerhouse instrument with the most
compact dimensions possible.

ADVANTAGE, MATCH
Various analytical methods are
available for elemental analysis, includ-
ing ICP, AAS and XRF. Two advantages
of XRF with the S8 TIGER are simple
sample preparation and direct, non-
destructive analysis. However, the
S8 TIGER proves its superiority in other
ways as well, including time-to-result,
sensitivity, calibration and cost of owner-
ship. The S8 TIGER is clearly an animal
of different stripes.
Let’s start with what is probably the
most important advantage: time-to-result.
This is the actual time required from
sampling to final qualitative and quantita-
tive results. In this area the S8 TIGER is
clearly out in front. While other methods
are still bogged down with acid digestion
and dilution, the S8 TIGER has already
provided the answer. This means waiting
for analytical results for process control is
a thing of the past. Sample throughput is
also significantly higher than for other
methods.
Another point in favor of the S8 TIGER
is its speed resulting from direct measure-
ment of real world samples with element
concentrations from ppb-level to 100%.
In addition to pure speed, the direct
measurement of all concentrations also
offers tangible analytical advantages.
Since no acid digestion or dilution is
needed, inaccuracies and errors during
sample preparation are eliminated. The
results you achieve with the S8 TIGER are
therefore significantly more reproducible
and reliable than those from ICP and
AAS.
Other methods require that you spend
a great deal of time calibrating the
system each day. Thanks to QUANT
EXPRESS, the standardless quantitative
analysis package, the S8 TIGER elimi-
nates this time and effort. Through factory
calibration, the S8 TIGER is ready for any
job, right from the start. For customised
analysis, a simple one-time calibration
using your own standards is sufficient.
When making an instrument decision,
you need to take a very close look at the
total cost of ownership over the system
lifetime. ICP and AAS require large
amounts of consumables such as expen-
sive gases and hazardous chemicals. The
expenses for laboratory equipment and
techniques add on top of that cost. With
the S8 TIGER the need for consumables
is far less, leading to a lower total cost of
ownership.
S8 TIGER – inherent economic and
analytical superiority.
