The X-Strata980 has been designed to improve your process and quality control with its outstanding precision, accuracy, and long-term stability.
Fast and precise analysis with high sensitivity is provided with Oxford Instruments’ 100W X-ray tube and user friendly software. Simple identification and differentiation of elements is attained with a high resolution, peltier- cooled silicon PIN detector. All together providing optimized performance across a wide range of elements. Measure samples both large (24"x 29"x 8") and as small as 150 μm in size using variable spot size. Its low limits of detection, even in matrices such as plastics allows RoHS and CPSC compliance testing of finished products.
Additional features include an simple to program X-Y table to perform area scans, multiple point measurements, and mapping using point-and-click or pattern input with orientation compensation such that sample fixtures are not required. The system can also be used for plating solution analysis, alloy and compositional analysis, and more.

When no standards are available, standard-less (fundamental parameters – FP) analysis provides simplicity of setting up reliable quantitative results, while covering a wide range of thicknesses and concentrations. When standards are available, Empirical calibrations provide the best accuracy. Only a few standards are necessary (typically 1 to 3). Methods are created in minutes. Oxford Instruments supplies certified standards for best accuracy (A2LA and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited).
