The new TRACERturboSD from Bruker AXS claims to be the world’s first handheld X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) instrument that uses a Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) for dramatically
improved speed, sensitivity and resolution. Bruker’s industryleading proprietary XFlash SDD, previously available only in high-performance laboratory XRF instruments, now offers unprecedented speed and analytical specificity when integrated into the novel handheld TRACERturboSD. Now all handheld XRF customer segments can benefit from these performance advantages in their analytical work. In the general metals analysis markets the TRACERturboSD
offers higher speed, sensitivity and selectivity for many demanding handheld XRF applications.
