Product description

XPS with monochromatic Al Kα source, parallel detection, ISS and REELS compatibility, plus sample prep chamber.

The Thermo Fisher ESCALAB 250Xi is a state-of-the-art X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer (XPS) designed for comprehensive surface analysis. This instrument provides detailed insights into the elemental composition, chemical states, and electronic structures of sample surfaces, making it indispensable for researchers aiming to characterise surfaces, thin films, and coatings.

Key features include:

  • Monochromatic Al Kα X-ray source with adjustable spot sizes ranging from 200 to 900 μm, allowing precise targeting of analysis areas.
  • Advanced parallel image detection system enabling quantitative spectroscopic analysis of small features within the image field of view.
  • Integration with the Thermo Scientific Avantage Data System, offering a streamlined workflow for data acquisition, interpretation, processing, and report generation.
  • Compatibility with additional surface characterisation techniques such as Ion Scattering Spectroscopy (ISS) and Reflection Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (REELS), enhancing analytical versatility.
  • Sample preparation chamber provided as standard, facilitating in-situ sample treatments and ensuring optimal analysis conditions.

The ESCALAB 250Xi is widely utilised in various scientific domains, including materials science, surface chemistry, nanotechnology, and biotechnology. Its applications are critical in bioprocessing, gene editing, synthetic biology, and molecular diagnostics, where understanding surface properties is essential.

Commonly employed in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and industrial R&D facilities, this spectrometer supports cutting-edge research and development. Introduced in 2009, the ESCALAB 250Xi continues to be a relevant and powerful tool in the field of surface analysis.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
