Applications & Materials:
The CTX is available in several configurations optimized for different industries and applications, such as:
- Minerals and mining
- Food safety and agriculture
- Pharmaceutical raw materials
- Precious metals
- Polymers
- Marine fuel oil analysis (MARPOL)
The CTX is specifically designed for applications which require sample preparation and/or sample presentation in a cup or bag, as well as for small samples and samples which require measurement times of more than a few seconds. Please contact our scientists to discuss your application.
While the CTX was primarily designed for deployment in mobile and field labs, it is also well suited to central labs and on the factory floor for quick pre-screening or routine analysis, and as a back-up for larger XRF or ICP/AA systems.

Applications
Bruker’s CTX CounterTop XRF is capable of doing the same applications as the handheld S1 TITAN. In fact, all calibrations available for the S1 TITAN are also available for the CTX. The biggest difference between the CTX and the S1 TITAN are as follows:
- The CTX is designed for small/prepared samples that can be brought to the analyzer and fit into the sample chamber. The handheld S1 TITAN can easily be taken into the field to measure large samples.
- The CTX is safety interlocked and will not generate X-rays unless the lid is closed. The S1 TITAN has various safety features, but is considered open beam, even if used with a desktop stand.
