S2 PUMA Series 2

The S2 PUMA Series 2 with a single-position manual loading enjoys the same technical benefits as the S2 PUMA Series 2 XY Autochanger and S2 PUMA Series 2 Carousel.
It delivers a simple sample handling mechanism for low sample volumes and can be fitted with the fast HighSense™ detectors and the ergonomic TouchControl™.
Without the touchscreen it can be controlled remotely or via an external PC with the instrument control software SPECTRA.ELEMENTS.  

High Performance for Small Sample Batches

• High power 50 Watt X-ray tube and 10-position automatic filter changer for optimal sample excitation
  
• HighSense detectors: Bruker’s next generation silicon drift detectors (SDD) with super high count rates and excellent energy resolution for short measurement times
  
• Convenient and fail-safe sample handling
  

Easy Operation and Shortest Training Time

• Intuitive TouchControl software enables anybody to run the system after a short introduction (9 languages available)
  
• Integrated glove-friendly touchscreen display allows routine operation without external PC 
  

The S2 PUMA Series 2 with mapping-stage makes multi-spot quality monitoring an easy task. It lets you quantify the elemental composition of your sample or even the thickness of a coating with high accuracy and spatial resolution (down to 1 mm). The linear motion-drive positions the sample precisely and reproducible. The actual position can be recorded with an integrated HD camera.

The mapping stage extends the application range of the S2 PUMA Series 2 into semiconductors and coatings, where spatial resolution is required.

Inserts for various sample sizes are available, ranging from 40 mm to 152 mm in diameter. Customized inserts are available on request. 

Key Benefits

• Measure material homogeneity and/or coating thickness
• Small and large samples – up to 152 mm in diameter
• Collimator masks for spot sizes from 1 to 34 mm
• High precision linear stage for accurate positioning
• Integrated HD camera for automated image collection  

The only benchtop EDXRF which can professionally be integrated into fully automated laboratories. The S2 PUMA Series 2 Automation delivers results on elemental analysis 24/7. The instrument can be connected either via conveyer belt or robot arm link-up to the preparation module. The sample feed interface is at the instrument’s backside, so that the XY Autochanger capabilities remain fully available. Buffer positions inside the instrument in addition to the EasyLoad^TM XY tray ensure smooth handling of automated and out-of-line samples at any time.

The HD camera can be used for sample verification: Samples in automation rings run overnight are often not available any more in the morning when staff returns. As a helpful validation tool, the pictures taken automatically by the camera can help to identify e.g. a failed sample surface and thus provide valuable information to clarify suspicious analysis results.

The LIMS-compatible instrument can communicate through Bruker’s dedicated AXSCOM software package with process control units and ensures full integration into existing or new laboratory environments.  

The new HighSense^TM and HighSense^TM LE detectors bring the latest Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) generation to the S2 PUMA Series 2. The detectors are equipped with a fast 8k multi-channel analyzer (MCA) for ultra-high count rates and excellent energy resolution, resulting in supreme sensitivity from F to Am, and setting new standards for benchtop EDXRF instruments.

HighSense^TM turn Power into Speed

The direct excitation beam path of the S2 PUMA Series 2 makes full use of the high-power 50 Watt X-ray tube. Optimal excitation of all elements in the sample is guaranteed with up to 50 kV voltage (30 kV optional) and up to 2 mA current. In combination with the HighSense^TM detector technology this pays back immediately: Better detection limits, higher precision and shorter measurement times!

• High count rates shortest measurement times
  
• Light element (LE) version for optimal detection of elements such as F
• DustShield™ protects the detector head and is easy-to-replace 
  

TouchControl™ is the S2 PUMA Series 2’s integrated touch screen for easiest instrument operation. The TouchControl user interface enables users with only minimal training to run routine measurements. The tiles on main screen make important functions easily available while restricting access to instrument configuration and calibrations.

• Island-mode: Routine analysis without external PC
  
• Shortest training times sufficient to operate instrument
  
• Glove-friendly touchscreen
  
• Software available in nine different languages
  (English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese)
• Controlled access to spectrometer configuration ensures high instrument uptime and data integrity
