In-Situ Untethered & Interactive
High Performance
Fast, accurate spot positioning
The TRACER 5 allows complete user control of the excitation conditions. These can be developed using recommended settings in the software or user preferences.
Users can also develop their own calibrations with EasyCal PC software for empirical correlations. These can be transferred to the TRACER 5 for point-and-shoot tests. Moreover, as the calibration is revised and improved, previously collected data can be recalculated with no need to remeasure samples.
TRACER pXRF analyzers serve a wide range of applications and material needs from everyday point-and-shoot testing to the ever-changing complexities of advanced applications and research. Please contact our scientists to discuss your application.
Whether it is in art conservation and archaeology, for teaching, in food safety and agriculture applications, for geochemistry or advanced materials, TRACERs can thoroughly and accurately analyze the elemental composition and identify standard or complex materials.
TRACERs can analyze multiple sample types, including liquids, slurries, powders, soils, sediment, sludge, cellulose, polymers, paper, solids, metals and alloys.
