The World's First TXRF Spectrometer for Trace Analysis
       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 (TXRF).
       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.Key advantages compared to AAS and ICP-OES
·  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 maintenanceUniversal Applicability with Detection Limits in the Lower ppb Range
       The S2 PICOFOX is the world's first and only transportable TXRF spectrometer with detection limits in the lower pg, ppb and ppm range. The advantages of TXRF become especially effective in cases of very small sample amounts, liquid samples with high matrix content and frequently changing sample types.

Preferred areas of application
Environmental analysis (water, aerosols and contamination)
Food, nutrients, dietary supplements and beverage analysis
Tissue and biological liquids in clinical chemistry
Contamination analysis of wafers, solar cells, OLEDs and nano-particles
Quality control of pure substances and industrial products
Authentication in pharmaceutical and forensic laboratories

Easy sample preparation
TXRF analysis is suitable for any type of sample, digestion is not always required. A sample, which must be placed on a sample carrier, can be prepared easily:
Liquids are pipetted directly onto the sample carrier and dried subsequently
Powder samples can be applied directly to the sample carrier or prepared as suspension
Single micro or nanoparticles can be prepared similarilyThe S2 PICOFOX is independent of liquid nitrogen and cooling water. With a maximum power consumption of only 180 watts the compact, portable TXRF spectrometer is especially suited for mobile applications. It features:
Compact, air-cooled micro focus X-ray tube with metal-ceramics technology
Multilayer X-ray optics for beam focusing and monochromatization
Latest Peltier-cooled, high resolution XFlash® detector (SDD)
