Handheld XRF Analyzers
The Bruker TITAN and TRACER 5i are field portable analyzers based on energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technology and use X-ray tubes as their excitation source. When energized, the instruments generate low-energy X-rays.
The basis of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry is the interaction of X-ray photons from a separate excitation source with atoms of the elements of interest found in the sample (filter deposit). When these excitation photons interact with the atoms in the sample, the photons cause the ejection of inner shell electrons. Outer shell electrons then fall into these vacancies. These transitions result in the emission of X-rays that are characteristic of the element. The energy of the characteristic X-ray is equal to the difference in the electron-binding energies of the two electron shells involved in the transition. Because the electron-binding energies are a function of the atomic number, the energy of the X-ray is characteristic of the element. The number or intensity of X-rays produced at a given energy provides a measure of the amount of the element present by comparisons with standards.

Bruker CTX Portable Benchtop XRF Analyzer for Elemental Analysis
The CTX portable benchtop spectrometer is based on the principle of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) to detect a broad range from elements as light as magnesium (Mg) to those as heavy as uranium (U). It is ideal for quick and non-destructive analysis of small or prepared samples, i.e. solids, powders and liquids, and wherever fast and accurate testing is needed outside the lab. It delivers precise and reproducible results with speed and ease. The CTX is lightweight and portable while providing high performance and minimal setup or training. The touchscreen user interface is intuitive and data management is easy to use. It is durible and designed for all environments including humid and dusty conditions. IT has a splash proof stainless steel body that is easy to clean. Geotech has been selected to be the exclusive representative for Bruker's handheld XRF products in CO, UT, WY, MT, ID.
