S2 PICOFOX – The world's most compact TXRF analyzer

: Click to learn more about the ease of sample preparation for the S2 PICOFOX!

The S2 PICOFOX is the world's first portable benchtop spectrometer for fast quantitative and semi-quantitative multi-element microanalysis of liquids, suspensions, solids and contaminations using the principle of total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy.

Reaching detection limits in the ppb and ppm range the S2 PICOFOX is optimally suited for trace element analysis. The advantages are evident in case of small sample amounts, liquid samples with high matrix content and frequently changing sample types.

Due to its complete independence of any cooling medium, the analyzer can be used not only in the laboratory but also for on-site analyses in the field.

For many applications the S2 PICOFOX will be an important enhancement to an existing AAS or ICP-OES system.

: S2 PICOFOX - TXRF spectrometer

The key advantages of TXRF compared to AAS and ICP-OES are

Simultaneous multi-element trace analysis incl. halogenides
Analysis of smallest sample amounts in the nanogram or microgram range
Simple quantification using an internal standard
Suitable for various sample types and applications
Portable system for fast in-field analyses
No matrix or memory effects
Low operating cost, no need for any media, disposables or periodic maintenance
