Business Wire
At ARABLAB 2009, Bruker AXS is introducing the M1 MISTRAL�, a
compact table-top microanalysis X-ray fluorescence (XRF)
spectrometer, which was developed specifically for non-destructive
analysis of gold and other precious metals. The system provides
fast and accurate results on the elemental composition of metals
and alloys used for the production of jewelry, without the need for
sample preparation. In particular, the M1 can be used to analyze
yellow gold, white gold, platinum alloys and silver alloys, as well
as other precious metals, jewelry and precious coins. The M1
MISTRAL is also a perfect complement to fire assays commonly used
in the industry, as it allows determination of many more elements,
not only gold and silver. Its large sample stage allows the
examination of irregularly shaped objects of up to 10 x 10 x 10cm,
and its integrated video microscope with cross-hair function allows
the exact positioning of large and intricately shaped pieces of
jewelry. The M1�s ultra-fine X-ray beam ensures that the
composition is measured at exactly the desired location. The design
of the M1 MISTRAL and its analysis software make the instrument
easy to use for non-experts, providing elemental compositions at
only a few mouse clicks and with less than a minute of measurement
time. Measurement results can be displayed either as elemental or
gold alloy concentrations, or in karat to display the purity of
gold alloys, or even as the monetary value of the sample analyzed.
Furthermore, the PC-driven M1 MISTRAL is easy to maintain, does not
require any consumables and has very low power consumption. "The
introduction of our new M1 MISTRAL gold and precious metals
analyzer marks another important milestone in our strategy of
making our analytical expertise and leading technology available to
a wider range of applications," commented Thomas Schuelein,
Co-President of Bruker AXS. "The decision to choose ARABLAB 2009
for a worldwide launch was made in appreciation of the impressive
growth dynamics and economic potential of the region." For more
