Thermo Niton XLt 792Y Handheld XRF Analyzer

The Niton XLt 792Y is a handheld X-ray tube based XRF analyzer from Thermo Scientific XLt 700 series built for fast non destructive elemental analysis in the field. The 792 variant is configured for environmental and soil screening giving on site metal concentration results in place of sending samples to a lab. It is a good fit for environmental consultants site assessors and anyone who needs quick screening data to guide sampling and decisions in the field.

Key Features

Miniaturized X-ray tube technology: produces the excitation X-rays in a compact handheld instrument with no radioactive isotope source needed
Solid and liquid sample analysis: measures elements from potassium (K) upward covering the heavy metals most commonly screened in environmental work
Standard Soil Mode: a ready to use mode for screening soils and sediments in the field
Factory calibrated: ready for use out of the box with site specific adjustment possible by comparing readings against lab analyzed samples
Compton backscatter normalization: analyte X-ray lines are ratioed to backscatter which reduces errors caused by differences between samples
Non destructive testing: samples are not altered so the same material can be sent on for confirmatory lab analysis
XLt 700 series software and PC data transfer: records and exports readings for reporting and analysis
Portable and rugged: designed for use at sampling sites and in outdoor conditions

Typical Applications

Soil and sediment screening for heavy metals
Environmental site assessments and remediation checks
Contaminated land investigation and sampling support
Lead and metals screening on-site
Field screening ahead of confirmatory laboratory analysis

Why Choose It

The Thermo Niton XLT 792Y puts lab style elemental screening in a handheld tool so you can map contamination in real time reduce the number of samples sent to the lab and make site decisions faster. Its X-ray tube design avoids the licensing and handling issues of isotope sources.
