S2 PUMA Series 2

Elemental analysis plays a crucial role in food production, ensuring food quality & safety. Screening of incoming material, monitoring of production processes and verification of final product quality need to be fast, reliable, and cost-efficient. In many cases when elemental compositions are needed, X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry is the right choice.

The beauty of XRF for food analysis lies in the ease-of-use and the low costof operation when compared to alternative techniques like Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). With XRF just minimal sample preparation is required and there is no need for hazardous chemicals or expensive consumables. The intuitive user interface enables the operation of the system by shift workers. A one-time calibration sufficient – daily recalibration is not required, saving hours per day.

The S2 PUMA Series 2 is Bruker’s versatile and high-performance directexcitation energy-dispersive XRF spectrometer. It is equipped with a powerful 50-W X-ray tube and the latest HighSense detector technology to achieve unrivaled count rates, enabling high precision analysis within minutes. The unique XY-Autochanger allows for highest sample throughput, while remaining fully flexible – samples can be added, removed, or prioritized at any time.

The S2 PUMA is used to analyze various materials, incl. seeds, plants, feed, mineral mixes, cereals, meat, dairy & cheese, cacao, and infant formula.
