    Description

    The Bruker CTX 500S is a high-powered, countertop XRF analyzer that comes in a compact, light and portable design. The unit has a sturdy stainless steel body and is easy to clean. The CTX 500S features a minimal footprint, taking up very little space on any surface. The unit ships with a standard waterproof and pressure equilibrated Pelican case or can be transported in an optional protective backpack. 

    Operation

    The CTX 500S is operated through a front panel touchscreen display or can run with a PC via Wi-Fi or USB. Readying samples for analysis is easy, and they can be placed in the safety chamber with plenty of room to spare, or in sample cups, baggies or other containers depending on your need.

    The Technology

    The CTX500S measures elements from Titanium to Uranium and uses a 50kV 2W Rhodium (Rh) thin window X-ray tube to analyze samples. The unit also features Bruker's patented SharpBeam™ optimized X-ray geometry and patented TITAN DetectorShield™ to protect against detector puncture. The CTX 500S offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® and USB connections. The touchscreen user-interface allows measurement control and provides an easy-to-read results display. 

    The Toolbox software Bruker includes allows for full remote operation of the CTX 500S. Additional add-on software, Bruker's Artax™, is designed for advanced qualitative, semi-quantitative composition analysis, as well as EasyCal™ for your own, user-defined empirical correlations.

    Add-On Packages

    The CTX 500S features add-on calibration packages for measuring the following types of materials:

    Maritime Sulfur

    • MARPOL measurement of Sulfur in maritime Fuels 0.01-1% wt.% S, includes Spectrofilm Etnom protective film pack.
    • The unit also can come with 100 pre-made Bruker XRF sample cups in a roll with ETNOM 3μm foil; XRF safety foil for the Desktop or Benchtop stand.

    Custom Applications

    Custom calibrations for customer specific specifications can be created including calibration modifications and custom grade libraries.
