KENNEWICK, Washington – May 14, 2010 – Bruker Elemental announces the winner of our S1 Sorter giveaway contest.

David Londeen of Metal Finishing Co. in Wichita, Kansas USA was the winner of the recent S1 Sorter giveaway contest. Congratulations David!

In the business-critical area of handheld XRF technology, Bruker aims not only to be the best, but also to deliver the best value. Our S1 SORTER is the ideal solution for businesses looking to compete in tough economic times. It delivers performance equal to any system using a SiPIN detector, but at around 30% less than equivalents on the market.

The S1 SORTER hides state-of-the-art technology beneath a very tough shell. The standard calibration covers steel, nickel, cobalt and copper alloys while the optional FP calibration will analyze most exotic alloys and precious metal samples. The S1 SORTER is designed to be used out in the field, in temperatures ranging from -10C to +50C. The splash-proof case is made of industrial-strength plastic, and the optional holster means you can keep your hands free while working anywhere in the warehouse or yard.
