T-AERO is Bruker’s innovative approach for sampling particles in the air. It is based on a new cascade impactor (image above) with an array of classification nozzles optimized for Total reflection X-ray Fluorescence (TXRF) analysis of the collected particles [3]. The T-AERO impactor is equipped with four stages for fractioning air particles directly onto TXRF carriers (images below).

T-AERO benefits

• Direct sampling on TXRF carriers for subsequent elemental analysis without further preparation steps
• No filters, no digestion steps required
• Total sampling and time to results less than one hour
• Detection limits for toxic elements in the pg/m³ range
• Ready for immediate use on site
