Environmental Control X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Device EnviroESCA

Operando measurements can be performed in the laboratory under a maximum pressure of 0.1 atmospheres.

EnviroESCA measures samples in a near-atmospheric pressure environment (up to 0.1 atm), eliminating the need for the ultra-high vacuum environments traditionally required. It can start measurements just a few minutes after introducing liquid, aqueous, volatile, or highly degassing porous samples into the EnviroESCA sample chamber. Not only can it analyze samples that conventional XPS would have given up on, but it also serves as a powerful tool for pioneering new research fields by freely controlling ambient gases and temperatures. It easily enables measurements under device operating conditions, known as "operando measurements," which are rapidly gaining attention. With EnviroESCA, which does not require ultra-high vacuum conditions, quality inspections on production lines that require a large number of inspections in a short time can be efficiently conducted. It is also possible to use robots and auto-loaders to batch process samples from introduction to measurement without human intervention. EnviroESCA, which dispels the conventional notion of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy being limited to ultra-high vacuum environments, drives novel research and development and provides entirely new applications for X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in fields such as medicine, biology, and life sciences.
