Krytox® PFPE in Vacuum Applications
Krytox® performance lubricants are the products of choice for applications where complete nonflammability, oxygen compatibility, and resistance
to aggressive chemicals are requirements. These synthetic lubricants provide superior performance and extended life as lubricants and sealants.
xtronix caters to a variety of vacuum and non-vacuum applications with different grades of Krytox® oils and greases. We have addressed aerospace related markets, high voltage industrial
applications, paper mills, tribology applications in clean room environments, and many others.

RC™ Quartz Crystals for Thin Film Deposition
The measurement of film thickness during a vacuum deposition process can be accomplished with great accuracy and precision using a quartz crystal microbalance, or QCM. Under controlled conditions, it is possible to achieve Ångstrom level resolution of the film thickness. In practice, however, this is rarely achieved.
A film thickness monitor measures the change in resonance frequency of ...

Residual Gas Analysis (RGA)
This is an analytical technique
used for identifying gases present in a vacuum chamber. The equipment used in performing the analysis is a mass filter of quadrupole type. A typical RGA has three major parts, namely, an ionizer,
a mass analyzer and an ion detector.
Residual gas analyzers operate by creating a beam of ions from samples of the gas being analyzed.The resulting blend of ions is separated into
...
Thin Film Deposition - why you need to control for temperature
New era in Thin Film Deposition Instrumentation
The world is changing to one where networks can connect everything. Why not your film thickness monitor? To achieve this goal, others have developed simple, modified oscillators that attach to the crystal feed through and supply digital data to a personal computer. The Eon™ takes a much different approach and offers a unit that is superior to even the best stand alone crystal monitors.The ground-breaking Eon™ does everything a standard ... << MORE >>
Fighting cancer - VME system to destroy cancer cells and repair DNA
A VMEbus-based irradiation and data acquisition system developed at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuernberg, Uni Erlangen, uses protons to
detect DNA's repair mechanism to aid in the fight against cancer.
From the years 2000 to 2020, malignant tumors (cancer) will increase dramatically by 50 percent. A data acquisition and irradiation system based on VMEbus has been developed at the
Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuernberg, Uni Erlangen, where protons are used to detect the repair mechanism of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA). The energy spectra have been ...
Tips & Tricks - Vacuum Viewports
This had already been posted back in September 2007 on our old blog and as it had attracted tremendous interest I'm happy to give it a makeover with more
detail !
For those who do not often change things on a UHV vacuum system, here's some tips if you need to mount a viewport. First, never use a viewport that appears to be, or is known to be damaged. A
replacement viewport costs far less than repairing a system ...
Life on Earth
Science informs us that microbes were the first inhabitants of Earth. These are single-celled organisms which we commonly call bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Microbes are still found everywhere today, in boiling hot thermal springs, as well as deep below the surface of the Antarctic, and even high in the atmosphere.
Microbes decompose the waste products of other living things, creating nutrients. They are also used to make ...
