Mining
The Bruker S1 TITAN Handheld Mining Analyzer is a fast and accurate tool for all aspects of mining. Compared to
laboratory analysis, the ability to make on-site geochemical analysis of mine face and drill cores boosts productivity by
reducing the turnaround time from days to minutes. The S1 TITAN’s real-time surveys quickly define ore boundaries and
identify areas of highest potential profit. Prepared samples can be measured in the field to achieve higher accuracy.

The Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) is the key to superior operation, as it offers higher count rates and resolution to
the traditional SiPIN detectors. In addition, the SDD provides the ability to measure light elements like magnesium,
aluminum, silicon and sulfur without the need for vacuum or helium purge. Light element analysis allows a much more
complete understanding of most mineral based deposits, as well as a better understanding of the mineralogy. In
addition, light element analysis is critical to the measurement of industrial minerals such as cement and limestone.

Sealed against moisture and dust
The ultimate defense against punctured detectors.
This unique patent pending S1 TITAN accessory protects
the detector window from being punctured by sharp
objects like rocks and sticks, while still allowing rapid and
accurate analysis of almost any material.
• Minimizes costly detector punctures
• Increases equipment up-time
• Available option on S1 TITANLE and S1 TITANSP
• No sacrifice to analytical performance, even in light
elements such as Mg, Al or Si

The S1 TITANLE is the premium configuration which is designed using an SDD detector with a Ultralene® measurement
window. The SDD operates at very high count rates and thus provides good precision at short measurement times.
In addition the S1 TITANLE will measure light elements such as magnesium, aluminum, silicon, sulfur and potassium.
Measurement of the light elements (Mg to K) improves the accuracy of Fundamental Parameter based calibrations
(GeoChem General). The S1 TITANLE is the most suitable configuration for Geochemical analysis.

The S1 TITANSP is the value configuration based on the traditional SiPIN detector with a rugged aluminized Kapton®
measurement window. The SiPIN detector is an excellent choice when light element detection is not required. Acceptable
precision and accuracy can be achieved using this configuration, though slightly longer measurement times are required.
The S1TITANSP is the value based version of the TITAN and should be chosen for routine measurements where light
element analysis is not required.

Easy to Use
The S1 TITAN is among the lightest portable tube-based XRF analyzer available on the market today. The user interface has
been designed to provide intuitive operation and results presentation. Data management and transfer are exceedingly
easy to use. The data can be stored in a protected data format, which cannot be modified, or an unprotected format,
which allows simple modification.
• Intuitive user interface • Lightweight – only 1.44kg / 3.17 lbs, including battery
• Requires very little operator training • User selectable protected or unprotected data storage
• Multiple fields for sample identification • Simple data transfer using USB thumb drive
