Thermo Niton XL3t 800 Series Handheld XRF Analyzer
The Thermo Niton XL3t 800 is part of Thermo Scientific XL3t family of handheld X-ray tube based XRF analyzers. It gives fast non destructive elemental analysis in the field or on the shop floor covering major elements from magnesium to uranium. It is built for metal alloy identification, scrap sorting, environmental screening, mining, and consumer product compliance and it replaces the lab visits and long waits of conventional sampling with real time results.
Key Features
- X-ray tube based XRF: no radioactive isotope source, with a compact, lightweight design for all day use
- Wide elemental coverage: analysis of the major elements from Mg to U with detection down to ppm levels depending on the application
- Tilting color touch screen: an integrated easy to read display with simple controls and customizable menus to suit how you work
- No PDA needed: the analyzer is self contained avoiding the cumbersome data syncing of PDA based XRF instruments
- Integrated GPS: location data can be recorded with readings on suitable configurations
- Connectivity: integrated Bluetooth and USB with the Niton Data Transfer (NDT) PC software for generating reports and managing data
- Internal camera option: an internal CCD camera to visually identify and record the sample being tested
- Library for common analysis: a 25 element library for soil and environmental use on soil testing configurations
- Environmental and compliance testing: suited to brownfield assessments, lead based paint screening and RoHS and WEEE component testing
- Hot surface capability: optional adapters allow testing of elevated temperature samples
- Robust, ergonomic design: built for rough field conditions at about 9.6 × 9 × 3.8 in.
Typical Applications
- Positive material identification (PMI) and alloy grading
- Scrap metal and recycling sorting
- Mining and exploration including ore grade screening
- Soil and environmental contamination screening
- Lead paint and consumer product screening
- RoHS and WEEE compliance testing
- Art conservation and archaeometry
Why Choose It
The Thermo Niton XL3t 800 puts lab quality elemental analysis in a rugged handheld instrument so decisions about sorting grading or contamination can be made on the spot. Its touch screen, camera option, and PC software make operation and reporting straightforward.
