Hi All,

I’m wondering if anyone has any guidelines for using the Bruker tracer 5i for heavy metal pesticides? We are looking at many organic items for the presence of heavy metals and I am hoping to streamline the process. We had used an older model tracer for many years that worked great. Recently we updated to the 5i since Bruker was no longer servicing the older model. I found it much easier to use the older model and am hoping to find a streamlined process for the 5i.

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Best, Judy

HI!
Which applications are installed on your i5 
it has the same filter setup as your old TRACER III so the workflow should not be much different.
Use spectrometer mode or the Bruker Instrument Tools.
