Bruker Introduces the S8 TIGER™ Series 3 High-Performance WDXRF Spectrometer for Elemental Analysis in Industry and Research

KARLSRUHE, Germany – May 20, 2025 – Bruker, a global leader in analytical instrumentation, launches the S8 TIGER™ Series 3 high-power Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometer. The design of the S8 TIGER Series 3 is based on decades of Bruker’s experience in XRF and is optimized for speed and precision by implementing ground-breaking detector technologies and software innovations. It supports demanding industrial process and quality control applications with high uptime requirements as well as materials research applications with sub-ppm detection limits.

A range of detector options provides the S8 TIGER Series 3 with superior performance in analyzing speed and data quality. SensorBoost™ increases the signal processing speed by a factor of two for light elements, enhancing sample throughput for cement, industrial minerals, and ceramics applications. Process control in metals, geology, and mining is significantly improved by Bruker’s proprietary solid-state detector HighSense XE™, allowing for a factor of 10 higher count rates compared to conventional detectors. The new Single-Element Channels for specific elements, such as Boron in glass, or the HighSense XP Multi-Element Channel for groups of elements increases sample throughput by more than 30% compared to purely sequential spectrometers.

The new EasyLoad™ sample magazine with its integrated camera AI autonomously handles different kinds of liquid and solid samples. The S8 TIGER Series 3 is ready for seamless integration into laboratory automation.

LabScape™ Cloud, the new cloud solution, enables both fleet management by lab managers and immediate support from Bruker’s worldwide service team. SampleCare™ technology protects vital instrument components. In combination with SafeGuard™, our software for system diagnosis and predictive maintenance, the highest instrument uptime is ensured.

Dr. Kai Behrens, Product Line Manager for Bruker’s XRF analysis business, commented: “With our focus on customer needs in both industry and research for reliable high-performance instruments, we continue with the S8 TIGER Series 3 our path to provide our customers with high uptime and innovative technologies, such as AI and cloud computing as well as our proprietary HighSense detectors.”
