Information on Thermo Scientific Niton Analyzers
Founded more than 20 years ago, we are the world's leading producer of handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers, with over 30,000 units installed worldwide. In addition to our headquarters in Billerica, Massachusetts, USA, we maintain offices in Munich, Germany and Hong Kong. A culture of innovation and a distinguished history of breakthrough achievements have defined Niton® analyzers since we introduced the first handheld XRF analyzer in 1994. Many "firsts" have followed including: the first use of miniaturized x-ray tubes in one-piece handheld analyzers; the first and only isotope-based handheld XRF analyzer that never requires source replacement; the first handheld analyzer equipped with an He purge for direct analysis of Mg, Al, Si, P, and S in metal alloys; the first handheld small spot XRF analyzer; the first and only handheld XRF analyzer to feature at 50kV x-ray tube; and the first geometrically optimized large area drift detector. The company has been awarded numerous patents and has received many honors and awards, including three R&D 100 Awards, most recently in 2008.
