Ron Vane, founder and President of the company, said “Dr Barbara Armbruster has been appointed as director of worldwide sales and marketing for XEI Scientific, Inc. for the Evactron® plasma cleaner. Barbara in her short tenure with XEI as marketing director has proven the value of her industry contacts for increasing Evactron® sales to electron microscopists. Her knowledge of new techniques and research trends has helped direct our sales efforts in cooperation with our new North American and South American sales distributor EMS (Electron Microscopy Sciences).”

“XEI Scientific has the technology leadership position in a global market, a dedicated workforce and strong financial performance”, said Dr Armbruster. “I see great opportunities to leverage these strengths to continue to provide the best plasma cleaning products to our customers. Key to continuing growth is a focus on core products including the Evactron® De-Contaminator for direct chamber cleaning, the Evactron® SoftClean™ Chamber for SEM samples and TEM holders, and the Evactron® CombiClean™ System for chamber and sample cleaning. I look forward to working with our distributors and OEM partners to deliver “The Fastest Way to Pristine.™””

XEI Scientific is the world leader in RF plasma decontamination of electron optical equipment and instrumentation for high-end scientific and industrial research and development. Evactron® De-Contaminators use energy efficient capacitive couple plasma (CCP) instead of wasteful ICP sources for plasma cleaning. The energy use difference is comparable to a CFL (a CCP) versus an incandescent bulb. Core products include the compact, new EP Evactron® De-Contaminator for turbo plasma cleaning in situ, the Evactron® EP SoftClean™ Chamber for SEM samples and TEM holders, and the Evactron® CombiClean™ System for chamber and sample cleaning. Turbo plasma cleaning starts immediately at turbo pumped pressures for the fastest way to pristine. Evactron® double-action cleaning combines plasma and UV for quick but thorough cleaning, pump down and return to normal operation.

XEI has now sold more than 2400 Evactron® systems worldwide, solving contamination problems in many different environments using high vacuum including electron microscopes, FIBs and other vacuum sample chambers. Each system comes with a 5 year limited warranty. Please visit the XEI web site for the latest details: www.evactron.com.
