Fast non-destructive precious metal determination using semiconductor detector based handheld XRF technology

SORTER & TURBO, the handheld metal spectrometers are an important innovation in precious metals for fast, non-destructive and accurate measurements for jewellery samples, bullion merchants, pawn shops and bank verfication, large silver articles for hallmarking, precious scrap sorting and several other applications.

BRUKER, Germany breaks all the records in X-ray technology. The unique super speed components ensure breathtaking speed at high-sensitivity resolution - without sacrificing reliability and flexibility. These super spaad solution enable an unprecedented throughput in research and development. The highest performance can be achieved only with the most modern instruments. The superior count rates and highest resolution makes the unit five times faster than previous generations. the perfet beam homogeneity and highest spectal purity ensures unsurpassed accuracy. Such reliable results and error-free instrument operation is the key for success where only minimal training is required for operators for the best results. The best technology should be intutive and instinctive to use. The bright display makes it easy to read in any lighting conditions. The touch screen means user can operate the unit with one finger.

The unit works under standard and universal Microsoft Windows. Built-in memory makes it possible to store thousands of spectra and millions of results safely with additional option for wireless Bluetooth connection as well as use ot SD card.

The universal mode of operation automatically selects the appropriate alloy class and type of calibration. The standard calibration rapidly provides a traceable analysis of all precious metals and impuities. The unit comes pre-calibrated for all major Gold Alloys, Platinum Group Metals and other precious alloys.

For added flexibility and control, user can choose between numbers of calibration modes. In addition to the Empirical and FP (Fundamental Parameter) mode of calibrations, operator can also opt for Dual Mode, where assays are calculated from multiple sets of conditions to achieve the best possible detection limlits. In Auto Mode, the analyzer is determines which calibration is best for the sample in question. Quantum has winning combination for your entire precious needs.
