NITON Environmental Analyzers

NITON XL3Handheld Thermo Scientific Niton XRF analyzers were designed for the simultaneous multi-element analysis of environmental samples including soils, dust wipes, filter media, thin films, and solid waste.

Our instruments are available with your choice of excitation options:

  • XLt - first portable x-ray tube-based instrument in a handheld, environmentally sealed package
  • XL3t - 50 kV (maximum) miniaturized x-ray tube with multiple primary filters     
  • XL3p - Second-generation patented Infiniton™ radioisotope source    

Simultaneous analysis for multiple elements in the field saves time and money over traditional, lab-based techniques. Add our unique Helium Purge Light Element Analysis Package to accurately quantify light elements such as aluminum and silicon.  

Available with a full suite of accessories – from sample preparation kits to test stands, to telescoping extension handles for in-situ analysis, our analyzer combines the performance of lab-grade XRF instrumentation with the ease of use and convenience of a handheld analyzer.

Fast, touch-screen data entry speeds investigations while providing the encrypted, defensible results the industry relies on in court.  Alternatively, connect your analyzer to a Bluetooth™-equipped GPS receiver to store coordinate data along with each individual reading for rapid site contamination mapping.
