Niton XL3t instruments can be used for many nondestructive testing applications, including analysis of metal alloys, screening of electronics and consumer goods for prohibited substances, mining exploration and grade control, and more. For example, the Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t 800 Series is the definitive tool for scrap metal recycling, casting and fabrication, manufacturing and Positive Material Identification (PMI). Alloy grade ID and QC testing typically take 1 to 2 seconds, with accurate alloy chemistry in as little as 3 to 5 seconds. Similarly, compliance testing for meeting the demands set forth in the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), Proposition 65, Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), and other regulations is faster than ever before with the Niton XL3t 700 Series, including screening of incoming materials, stocks and outgoing finished goods. Detection limits for all banned substances are improved – especially for cadmium – with the 50 kV x-ray tube sample excitation system.

A history of breakthrough technologies distinguishes Thermo Scientific Niton x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers. In 2002, we pioneered the use of miniaturized x-ray tubes in handheld XRF analyzers. Since that time, the performance and features of Niton XRF instruments have improved continuously. Now we introduce a groundbreaking new generation of portable XRF analyzers, combining advanced electronics and materials technology with the most powerful x-ray tubes ever used in a handheld XRF instrument: presenting the Niton XL3t
