Oxford X-Strata980 Bench-Top XRF Thickness Analyzer
About Us
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).
