Environmental
Analysis
As
environmental consciousness grows and tools for
performing environmental analysis become more
popular, requirements for identification and
remediation of environmental contamination in
residential, commercial, and industrial settings are
increasing globally.
- Site characterization and conceptual site
modeling
- Risk assessment
- On-site clearance screening
- Soil stabilization
- Remediation quality control

Optimizing Environmental Analysis with XRF and GOLDD
Technology
How can you improve project turnaround times while
holding sampling and analysis costs under control?
Handheld
Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t 600 Series x-ray
fluorescence (XRF) analyzers, now available with
GOLDD technology, are the ideal tools for these
demanding jobs.
With a standard analytical range from S through U,
and optional lower detection limits achievable with
the Niton® XL3t 600 GOLDD - light element
analysis (Mg, Al, Si, P, S) without helium or vacuum
purging - you can identify elemental
concentrations from the most subtle anomalies at
unprecedented low levels to high levels of
contaminated soil, on-site, in real time. You
benefit in a variety of ways from these remarkable
instruments:
- Immediate sample results on-site - soil
analyses, lead dust wipes, air filter analysis
- Real-time delineation of contamination
boundaries
- Legally defensible data
- Overall improvement in jobsite productivity
The Thermo Scientific Niton Solution
Using our robust Niton XL3t 600 Series and Niton
XL3t 600 Series with GOLDD technology, you realize
improved value through better precision and lower
detection limits when compared to previously
available handheld XRF instruments. They are
the ideal tools for measuring elemental
concentrations in:
- Soils
- Sediments
- Painted surfaces
- Dust wipes
- Air filters for ambient and personal air
monitoring
- Liquids, such as paint and waste water
Outstanding Performance
You achieve on-the-spot results for a range of
environmental and soil testing applications:
- Elevated blood lead (EBL) investigations
- Site assessment
- Emergency response site-remediation
- Brownfield remediation
- Occupational safety and health (OSHA)
compliance
Whether you want to analyze lead dust wipes to
determine the spread of contamination, analyze air
filters to help protect workers from airborne
exposure to high levels of pollutants, or surgically
delineate the boundaries of site contamination, the
Niton XL3t 600 Series analyzers provide you with
definitive, defensible, and dependable results every
day.
Lab-Quality Analysis in the Palm of Your Hand
Lab-quality sample preparation yields lab-quality
results in the field. These techniques comply with
US EPA Method 6200 and are the industry standard for
site characterization, on-site clearance screening,
soil stabilization, and remediation quality control.
- In-situ soil analysis with
screening-level results -
placing the Niton XL3t 600 Series analyzers, the
first choice in soil testing equipment, directly
on the soil surface is the ideal way to perform
trend analysis or quickly delineate the
boundaries of contamination.
- Ex-situ soil analysis
- Samples in plastic bags -
roughly homogenizes the sample for
semi-quantitative results
- Drying, grinding, and sifting
the sample - provides a more
uniform composition, making quantitative
analysis possible
Rugged, lightweight, high-performance Niton XL3t
analyzers measure:
- All 8 RCRA metals
- 12 Priority Pollutants
- 19 US EPA Target Analytes
Analyzer Versatility Leads to Prompt Decision Making
With more than 3,500 handheld Niton XRF analyzers
deployed in the environmental industry, their
ability to obtain instant, nondestructive data in
situ significantly reduces the cost, time, and labor
and allows you to make decisions promptly, before
samples are dispatched to the laboratory.
