Metal Analysis is Made Effortless with <\/em>Bruker OES Analyzers<\/em><\/p>\n

The Edge on OES<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For metal industry organizations like foundries, fabricators and recyclers, being able to get a quick and accurate elemental breakdown of metal composition is essential. One of the most cost-effective ways of doing that is with optical emission spectrometry (OES) analysis equipment. And when it comes to OES analyzers, Bruker delivers the capabilities you need.<\/p>\n

Bruker technology is constantly pushing the boundaries of OES equipment. Whether it’s incorporating state-of-the-art flat field CCD optics or leveraging active ambient compensation (AAC) for greater temperature stability, their goal is always to achieve the best optical performance.<\/p>\n

Bruker’s family of OES equipment ranges from ultra-compact for small operations and portable needs, to high-end stationary units for demanding requirements in quality, homogeneity and cleanliness. Their elemental accuracy at low level, combined with their relatively low cost, make the Bruker OES analyzers the preferred method for trace analysis.<\/p>\n

The three members of the Bruker OES family, the Q2, Q4 and Q8<\/a>, all come with Elemental Suite, the new software platform for Bruker OES analyzers. This intuitive Windows-based software offers a simple way to conduct routine elemental analysis.<\/p>\n

Elemental Suite provides automated averages and limit checks to ensure safe operation. Its various control settings can be used to minimize gas consumption. And it can be used to observe the instrument’s operating conditions in real time, as well as save, print and report the results.<\/p>\n

Bruker OES analyzers are widely-accepted and easy-to-use. They ensure accuracy and the highest precision in all environments for a wide range of elements and concentrations. These robust analyzers guarantee accuracy in inspection, identification and quality control no matter the analytical challenge.<\/p>\n

Q2 ION<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Q2<\/a>
The Q2 Ion is the ultra-compact analyzer that set the standards for usability.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Q2 ION is one of the smallest and lightest ultra-compact OES analyzers on the market. In fact, it’s light enough to hand carry to remote sites for analysis. Due to its affordable price and low operating cost, the Q2 is ideally suited to small and mid-size metal companies and makes a feasible spare or back-up unit.<\/p>\n

The newest generation of spark spectrometer, the Q2 Ion<\/a>, is a multi-matrix system versatile enough to handle both incoming material inspection and outgoing quality assurance of metal alloys. The Q2 includes a patented flat field CCD optics system. And when the CCD detector is combined with ClearSpectrum technology, the result is superior analytical performance.<\/p>\n

The Q2 is fast and easy to use. Just place your sample into the spark stand and press the start button. The elemental composition of the metal is delivered in under 30 seconds.<\/p>\n

The metals the Q2 Ion can handle include the following:<\/p>\n
