μ-XRF Analysis As easy as... 1 Place samples in large analysis chamber • Non-destructive analysis: no sample preparation • Easy sample introduction/presentation: large door • Safe and secure operation: closed chamber • Sample chamber size: 580mm x 510mm x 230mm wdh 2 Optimise camera focus at the click of a button • No operator-to-operator results variability: point- and-click laser focus • Clear, pin-point analysis: high-resolution colour video camera with high magnification • Unattended operation: single or multiple analysis using the programmable XY stage and Z axis • Simple and quick...

X-Stra Outstanding precision, accuracy, and long-term stability: • Fast and precise analysis: high sensitivity with Oxford Instruments’ 100 W X-ray tube • Simple identification and differentiation of elements: high resolution, Peltier-cooled silicon PIN detector • Optimised performance across a wide range of elements: multiple primary beam filters • Measure samples as small as 150μm in size: multiple collimators • Low limits of detection, even in matrices such as plastics: Oxford Instruments’ unique low-background measurement plate Rugged and robust design: • Stand-alone spectrometer: only...

Analysis of large, oddly-shaped samples • Samples can be measured at variable focal distances (0.5 to 4 inches): methods set up for sample shape and size • Distance independent measurement: with this option, one universal calibration is used to measure irregular- shape samples, regardless of focal distance (measurable range 0.5 to 4 inches) • Quick, precise sample alignment with Auto Range Finder (ARF) Flexible results reports: Advanced Data Export Option • Complete statistical data function including average, standard deviation, histograms and control charts • Real-time data export or...

Comprehensive analysis Simple calibration setup for optimised elemental composition and thickness analysis Select the best analytical method for your application: • When few or no standards are available, Fundamental Parameters (FP) methods provide reliable quantitative results. These use a comprehensive spectrum database, and cover a wide range of concentrations and thicknesses. It only takes a few minutes to setup a working method • When standards matching your samples (i.e. matrix, analytes, range of concentrations) are available, empirical calibrations provide the best accuracy. There...
