Portable XRF (PXRF) analyzers monitor elemental nutrients and heavy metals in the pursuit of healthy soils and plants. Regenerative agriculture is a critical component of our planet’s environmental sustainability; and, it requires practical expertise in soil science, crop science, and botany. This video highlights the applications of scientists in those disciplines who use PXRF to help optimize the growing cycle of plant systems for both small-holder and large farms. Their analyses of seeds, soils, roots, fertilizers, leaves and fruit in a variety of climate situations are illustrated. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology is explained. The CTX portable benchtop XRF and the S1 TITAN and TRACER 5 handheld XRF elemental analyzer solutions from Bruker are also described.

Oceanographic research helps in the planning, protection, and restoration of coastal wetlands. These landforms help protect us from storm surge flooding, control land erosion, improve water quality, and aid in the biodiversity of edible fish species. Tracking the movements of minerals and metals from extreme weather events, climate change effects, and harmful anthropogenic activities is a critical component of this research. Hence, elemental analysis is needed. Battery-operated portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is an especially helpful tool for field research because it provides fast, non-destructive elemental analysis measurements wherever and whenever they are needed. It can measure nutrient minerals, heavy metals, and other elements of interest in soil, sediment, vegetation, water, and biological life forms.

Jewelry containing lead can cause harm if it is put in the mouth, which is not an unusual thing for a child to do. If this toxic metal mixes with saliva or stomach acids, it can leach out into the body. Government regulations on the amount of lead (Pb) allowed in consumer products include the EU RoHS REACH limit of 500 PPM by weight in jewellery and the US EPA CPSIA limit of 100 PPM Pb by weight in children’s jewellery. Unfortunately, some children’s jewellery still contains this heavy metal at levels well above those restricted levels. Bruker provides two portable XRF analyzers for fast, straightforward, and nondestructive testing of jewellery for dangerous levels of lead. Learn how easy these portable analyzers are to use and how they can be taken directly to the samples for testing. Jewellery doesn’t need to be sent to a lab; it can be tested on assembly lines, at shipping/receiving areas, in jewellery and other specialty shops, or anywhere testing is needed.

Sulfur content in fuel is regulated because the exhaust from ship fuel, or bunker, is a significant contributor to harmful air pollution. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) enacted Marine Pollution (MARPOL) Annex VI, regulation 14, to ensure sea vessels comply with sulfur content in fuel restrictions to reduce exhaust pollution. There are multiple stakeholders for MARPOL Regulation 14, but vessel owners are ultimately responsible for compliance. IMO 2020 low sulfur in fuel regulations is enforced by local maritime authorities. There are two authorized EDXRF testing methods to determine compliance with the MARPOL sulfur regulations. Bruker offers two portable EDXRF analyzers which make the job faster and easier; and they can be taken wherever and whenever measurements are needed, including aboard ships. Learn about these complete portable EDXRF sulfur in fuel testing solutions from Bruker.

While the TRACER 5 has the ability to completely control the current and voltage, it also adds many new features which have been requested by our users. The user can select filters from the integrated filter wheel or insert user-designed filters. In addition, the measurements can be made in air, vacuum or helium atmosphere, which can be selected based on the needs of the user. The detector configuration and the small distance between the sample and detector make for a very sensitive system with some of the lowest detection limits available today. The TRACER 5 has approximately three times the sensitivity of the previous generation TRACERs, with helium purge TRACER 5 being the only handheld XRF that can elements as light as fluorine.

Features of the TRACER 5 family:

• 50kV-4W Rh target X-ray source
• Large area Graphene window SDD detector
• Selectable measurement spot size 3 mm or 8 mm
• Helium purge and optional portable vacuum pump
• 5-position automatic filter changer
• Manual filter / secondary target option
• Integrated processor and data storage
• Interactive touchscreen display
• Internal sample camera Wi-Fi and USB connectivity
• EasyCal software package for empirical user calibration
• Detects Fluorine 
• Element Range: Fluorine to Uranium
