(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 11, 2008 ) NEW ORLEANS – At Pittcon 2008 last week, Bruker AXS announced the release of its new Q4 TASMAN™, a benchtop CCD-based spark-OES spectrometer based on the very latest state-of-the-art technologies. It provides shorter measurement cycles, improved stability, improved precision and lower limits of detection than existing CCD spectrometers in the market.

Bruker’s ClearSpectrum technology, a combination of highest pixel resolution on CCD detectors and powerful firmware, provides excellent performance in a very compact design. Measurement cycles are now up to 30 times faster. These shorter measurement times improve efficiency and can increase clients’ profitability. A newly designed spark stand with co-axial argon flow directs gas right onto the burn spot area, eliminating the need for any standby flow and improving accuracy, especially when analyzing small samples and wires.

Bruker AXS offers the Q4 TASMAN with various dedicated solutions for analytical tasks: Bruker Analytical Solution Packages (ASP) are available for various matrices and their relevant alloying elements. The Q4 TASMAN provides calibration for all major alloy groups and quality libraries with version control. It shares its powerful Windows-based software with Bruker Quantron’s other well regarded spark-OES spectrometers: the bench-top Q6 COLUMBUS and the high-end Q8 MAGELLAN.

“Simple routine handling, optimal analytical performance and cost effective operation with minimal maintenance were the guidelines for the development leading to this new outstanding optical emission spectrometer,” said Bruker AXS Vice President Georg Schick. “At Bruker, we design and develop advanced optical emission spectrometers to meet or exceed our customers’ analytical needs.”
