Product Specifications
OXSAS software option for fast, simple and safe
operation of Thermo Scientific ARL OES & WDXRF
spectrometers

OXSAS is a comprehensive software

used with Thermo Scientific ARL OES
& XRF spectrometers. The easyOXSAS
option allows its use by operators and
by managers effortlessly with little
training requirement.
easyOXSAS is the perfect option for
instruments operating on production
floor where productivity and quality of
sample analyses are the key issues.

mode
When operating the software in easyOXSAS
mode, the available commands are proposed
as large and convenient icons in the left
pane of the main screen. As illustrated by the
above picture, these icons can be configured
to the minimal necessary functionality by the
laboratory manager to make operation as
simple as possible for the operators.
For unknown sample analysis, the operator
simply selects the desired analysis method,
enters the sample identity and starts the
analysis. This can be further simplified with
the use of batch or routine analysis.
Each possible action in easyOXSAS is
associated with the icon located in the left
pane. These actions are:
• Login
• Exit
• Unknown Sample Analysis
• Standardization (drift correction with
Setting-up Samples – SUS), this allows
not only SUS measurements but also a
single click replacement of a used SUS
with possibility to rename it if necessary.

Once the analysis is completed, its result

Single click SUS replacement
can be automatically printed or transmitted
to a LIMS through an ASCII file. No operator
action is required.

easyOXSAS option is available only with the

manually operated instruments. It is not available
when the spectrometer operates in automatic
mode or in Remote Sample Definition mode.
