Niton* XL3t XRF Analyzer

Equipped with a 50 kV x-ray tube, it offers you several distinct advantages over our previous models. Specifically, the 50 kV x-ray tube provides:

• Approximately 2x the x-ray flux of a 40kV x-ray tube
• Lower detection limits for higher-Z elements, including Ba in soils & sediments, and Cd in plastics, especially in the presence of Sn and Sb-based fire retardant materials in plastics
• Shorter measurement times

Available options and accessories include:

• Our GOLDD* technology, which delivers faster measurement times and lower detection limits (up to 10-times faster than conventional Si-PIN detectors and up to 3-times more precise than conventional smaller silicon drift detectors (SDD)
• Internal CCD camera for visually identifying & recording images of samples
• A user-selectable 3 mm small spot that collimates the x-ray beam for analysis of small, painted areas of toys, components on printed circuit boards, and mineral inclusions on rock faces or drill cores
• A variety of test stands
• Thermo Scientific Extend-a-Pole* for in-situ soil and Greenfield surveys
• Thermo Scientific Hotfoot hot surface adaptor, which extends the ability of the Niton XL3t analyzer to test in petrochemical refineries up to 842°F (450°C).

With over 25,000 handheld XRF analyzers installed since 1994, it is not surprising that many customers in the recycling and mining segments are achieving a return on investment measured in several months, while many report that they have paid for the cost of the instrument in weeks, and some in as little as one day.
