At its foundation, Avantage is built to manage the high-precision hardware required for surface science. It utilizes a interface that allows researchers to manipulate X-ray sources, ion guns for depth profiling, and electron flood guns for charge compensation. The software's "Instrument Manager" provides a real-time visual of the system vacuum, sample position, and source status, ensuring that even complex multi-technique experiments (integrating XPS with UPS, REELS, or ISS) can be coordinated within a single interface. Data Acquisition and Automation

: Peak fitting, background subtraction, and quantitative surface analysis.

For specific upgrade pricing and hardware compatibility, users should contact their local Thermo Fisher Scientific representative or visit the official support portal.

Best for most metallic and well-defined asymmetric peaks.

: While it can export to VAMAS (.vms) or Excel, its native format is proprietary. This can sometimes make collaborating with labs using different instrument brands a multi-step process.

: Use this default Thermo feature. It automatically adjusts the background slope based on peak intensity changes.

Quantification calculates the atomic concentration of detected elements. The standard method involves:

Surface analysis has become indispensable in material science, electronics, and nanotechnology, where understanding the top few nanometers of a material dictates its properties. The acts as the crucial link between Thermo Scientific’s advanced X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) instrumentation and high-level analytical insights. As a comprehensive data acquisition and processing suite, Avantage 24 continues to set industry standards for speed, ease of use, and intelligent data interpretation.

Beyond basic processing, Avantage includes specialized modules that save time and uncover hidden data patterns.

Every analysis begins with a wide energy range "survey scan." Avantage uses built-in elemental libraries to automatically identify major peaks. Open your project file ( .vgd format).

To assist high-throughput labs, Thermo has introduced several "ease-of-use" features in this version:
