S2 PUMA Series 2 – Carousel
Measure any sample in minutes: Solid, fused bead, pressed pellet, loose powder, liquid, bulk – simply load sample batches using the EasyLoadTM tray or place your bulk sample directly into the chamber. The S2 PUMA Series 2 offers the largest sample chamber with dimensions of 450 x 420 x 100 mm. Its carousel tray can hold mixed batches with up to 12 samples of 32, 40, or 51.5 mm in diameter or up to 18 samples of 40 mm in diameter.
The S2 PUMA Series 2 Carousel is the all-rounder among the benchtop EDXRF analyzers when it comes to sample versatility.

- Bulk, one-piece, or prepared
Small-Spot Analysis
- Collimator masks allow analysis of smallest particles within large samples
- Spot size: 1 to 34 mm
- HD camera for sample positioning and verification
SMART.QUANT FP

S2 PUMA Series 2 – Mapping-Stage
The S2 PUMA Series 2 with mapping-stage makes multi-spot quality monitoring an easy task. It lets you quantify the elemental composition of your sample or even the thickness of a coating with high accuracy and spatial resolution (down to 1 mm). The linear motion-drive positions the sample precisely and reproducible. The actual position can be recorded with an integrated HD camera.
The mapping stage extends the application range of the S2 PUMA Series 2 into semiconductors and coatings, where spatial resolution is required.
Inserts for various sample sizes are available, ranging from 40 mm to 152 mm in diameter. Customized inserts are available on request.
Key Benefits
- Measure material homogeneity and/or coating thickness
- Small and large samples – up to 152 mm in diameter
- Collimator masks for spot sizes from 1 to 34 mm
- High precision linear stage for accurate positioning
- Integrated HD camera for automated image collection
S2 PUMA Series 2 – XY Autochanger
WDXRF sample handling on a benchtop EDXRF unit – the S2 PUMA Series 2 XY Autochanger is equipped with a 20-position sample tray and sample grabber with liquid sample detection.
The instrument is ideal for larger sample volumes at a production line, where the S2 PUMA Series 2 can be operated with the integrated user-friendly TouchControl™ touchscreen.
Sample Handling
- Autonomous analysis of up to 20 samples
- Sample type and order can be changed at any time, even during a measurement
- Trays with other sample batches can be exchanged during an analysis
Power and Speed
- The direct-excitation beam path makes full use of the 50 Watt power
- New HighSense™ silicon drift detectors (SDD) with ultra-high count rates and excellent energy resolution
Instrument Protection
- SampleCare™ ensures that vital instrument components are protected
- Smart-UPS: In case of a power outage, delicate samples are retrieved from the sample chamber, before safely shutting down the system
S2 PUMA Series 2 – Automation
The only benchtop EDXRF which can professionally be integrated into fully automated laboratories. The S2 PUMA Series 2 Automation delivers results on elemental analysis 24/7. The instrument can be connected either via conveyer belt or robot arm link-up to the preparation module. The sample feed interface is at the instrument’s backside, so that the XY Autochanger capabilities remain fully available. Buffer positions inside the instrument in addition to the EasyLoadTM XY tray ensure smooth handling of automated and out-of-line samples at any time.
The HD camera can be used for sample verification: Samples in automation rings run overnight are often not available any more in the morning when staff returns. As a helpful validation tool, the pictures taken automatically by the camera can help to identify e.g. a failed sample surface and thus provide valuable information to clarify suspicious analysis results.
The LIMS-compatible instrument can communicate through Bruker’s dedicated AXSCOM software package with process control units and ensures full integration into existing or new laboratory environments.
Key Benefits
24/7 Production Control
- Conveyer belt or robot arm link-up
- HD camera for sample verification
- Fully LIMS-compatible with AXSCOM
- Samples from tray can be analyzed in-between
Fast - Powerful - Accurate
- The combination of a powerful (50 Watt) X-ray tube with Bruker’s fast HighSense™ silicon drift detectors of the newest generation results in short measurement times and excellent data quality.
- Dedicated light element configuration for best analytical performance of elements such as sodium (Na)
Short Measurement times with HighSense™ Technology
The HighSense detectors are equipped with a fast 8k multi-channel analyzer (MCA) for high count rates and excellent energy resolution. The new HighSenseTM XP detector is the latest addition to the HighSense Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) generation of the S2 PUMA Series 2.
Thanks to an ultra-high transmission graphene window, the HighSense XP offers best-in-class sensitivity for all elements detectable by EDXRF. In conjunction with the new state-of-the-art Detector Profiling feature, the HighSense XP sets new standards for benchtop EDXRF instruments.
HighSenseTM turns Power into Speed
The direct excitation beam path of the S2 PUMA Series 2 makes full use of the high-power 50 Watt X-ray tube. Optimal excitation of all elements in the sample is guaranteed with up to 50 kV voltage, up to 2 mA current, closely-coupled beam optics, and a 10-position primary beam filter-changer. In combination with the HighSenseTM detector technology this pays back immediately: Better detection limits, higher precision, shorter measurement times!
High Uptime with SampleCare™
SampleCare™ is a unique multi-layer system to protect vital instrument components from contamination. It protects the X-ray tube and the detector from spillage of liquid samples, from particles of solid samples, and from dust. The detector head is protected by DustShield™, an easy-to-replace cap with a high-transmission film. The tube is protected by the filter wheel. A sample type detection (XY Autochanger/Automation only) prevents the analysis of liquid samples, while the system is under vacuum.
SampleCare™ means high uptime and easy maintenance!
Intuitive operation with TouchControl™
TouchControl™ is the S2 PUMA Series 2’s integrated touch screen for easiest instrument operation. The TouchControl user interface enables users with only minimal training to run routine measurements. The tiles on main screen make important functions easily available while restricting access to instrument configuration and calibrations.
- Island-mode: Routine analysis without external PC
- Shortest training times sufficient to operate instrument
- Glove-friendly touchscreen
- Software available in nine different languages
(English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese) - Controlled access to spectrometer configuration ensures high instrument uptime and data integrity
