Limit of detection (LOD) is specified for each matrices in three sigma 99.7% confidence level. Individual
LOD's improve as a function of the square root of the testing time. All detection limits are specified for
interference free matrix. LOD's are listed in parts per million (ppm). Limit of detection effects on instrument
precision (repeatability), but it is not direct indication of instrument accuracy. Limits of detection are
dependent on the following factors:
-Matrix Interferences, overlapping elements etc.
-Level of statistical confidence
-Testing time

Safety – the key design criteria
 Tested by STUK (Finnish Nuclear and Radiation safety authority),
independent test laboratory
 With maximum voltage and current settings leaking radiation is
less than 1 μSv/h from any surface
 Two independent proximity sensors to ensure that the analyser is
in contact with the sample before starting the measurement:
IR sensor & count rate proximity sensor
 Four bright, highly visible “X-RAYS ON” warning lights
 Password protected. PIN code is required to initiate the unit and
if the analyser is not being used, it will lock itself in 5 minutes
 User training is always provided by Oxford Instruments or
authorised re-sellers
 Large selection of additional radiation safety accessories are
available to protect the user from scattered X-rays when
measuring small, thin or low density samples.
