Unlock the Power of XRF in Metal Production

From raw material to final product, XRF is redefining metal production.

Join us on September 30 for a free, 60-minute online seminar that puts the spotlight on the new S8 TIGER Series 3 and its game-changing role in elemental analysis.

Built on Bruker’s legacy of precision and innovation, the S8 TIGER is engineered for speed, accuracy, and reliability across steel, ferroalloy, and non-ferrous metal workflows. This isn’t just a product showcase, it’s a hands-on, lab-based experience designed to help you solve real-world challenges.

What You’ll Learn:

How XRF enables fast, accurate analysis of slag and metal samples
Best practices for sample preparation and calibration
Live demos of the S8 TIGER Series 3 in action
Tips to improve throughput, reduce costs, and enhance quality control

Whether you're optimizing furnace conditions or tightening quality specs, this session delivers the insights you need to stay competitive.

Ready to see what’s possible with the next generation of WDXRF? Register now for one of the sessions we've prepared for you.

M4 TORNADO: New Options for Flexibility & Light Element Detection

We’re excited to announce that two popular features of the M4 TORNADO Plus are now available as standard in the M4 TORNADO, offering you even greater analytical versatility. Aperture Management System (AMS) for enhanced mapping of uneven samples, and Light Element (LE) Detection, a cost-effective solution when LE analysis is essential. Both upgrades are now standard offerings and already proven in real-world applications. Learn more in our latest application notes.

Visualizing Drug Release in 3D

How does a controlled-release tablet actually release its active ingredient? With the X4 POSEIDON, you can see it. In our latest application note, we explore how XRM reveals the internal structure, porosity, and drug distribution of a nifedipine controlled-release tablet. These insights help you optimize release profiles, compare formulations, and detect structural defects that could impact stability. With fast scan times and 4.5 µm voxel resolution, the X4 POSEIDON gives you the clarity and confidence to improve drug performance — from development to QC.

ACA 2025: Diamonds, Datasets & a Dazzling Booth

Bruker brought sparkle to the ACA’s 75th Anniversary in Lombard, IL with a diamond-themed booth experience that turned heads. From July 18–21, attendees joined our contest by selecting a crystal chip and committing to collect a dataset, with a 5-carat moissanite up for grabs in December. The event wrapped with a lively reception featuring a Marilyn Monroe impersonator who even FaceTimed Dan Frankel to sing him Happy Birthday. It was a celebration of science, community, and a little glam.
