The Bruker TRACER 5 is a high-performance handheld XRF analyser designed for researchers and analysts who need full control over their measurements. It delivers accurate, non-destructive elemental analysis across a wide range of materials from light elements like fluorine to heavy metals such as uranium.

With its unique combination of graphene-window SDD detector, user-controlled voltage and current, and options for air, vacuum, or helium measurement atmospheres, the TRACER 5 offers laboratory-grade sensitivity in a fully portable format.

Applications:

• Cultural Heritage & Archaeometry: Analyse pigments, metals, ceramics and glass without damaging the artefact.
• Geological Research & Geochemistry: Determine mineral composition in the field or lab, including light elements often missed by other handheld XRFs.
• Materials Research & Teaching: Train students or investigate complex, non-uniform materials with a fully adjustable analytical platform.
• Environmental & Soil Analysis: Detect trace metals and contaminants for field-based monitoring and validation.
