Exploration & Mining Samples
Thermo
Scientific NITON® XL3t and XL3p 500 Series Mining analyzers
provide unprecedented performance at all stages of the
mining process, all in the palm of your hand. These
breakthrough instruments allow the user access to
chemical assay data instantly, in-situ directly on the mine
face, from bagged samples, drill cores, or from prepared
samples.
Handheld NITON x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers enable
quick and easy delineation of ore boundaries and much more.
They are the ideal tools for measuring elemental
concentrations in:
- Ores
- Soils
- Sediments, cuttings and cores
- Heads and tails
- Concentrates
- Coatings
- Filter media
Thermo Scientific NITON XL3 500 Series analyzers,
manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific, provide several
unique features designed to maximize our customers'
productivity:
- A 50 kV miniature x-ray tube with multiple primary
filters – the most powerful and flexible XRF source
ever offered in handheld XRF instruments
- The second generation patented Infiniton™
radioisotope source – unparalleled isotope source
performance and the lowest lifetime cost of ownership of
any XRF analyzers available
- Weighs less than 3 lbs (~1.3 kg) and made of
durable GE Lexan® plastics – the ideal tools for obtaining real-time
geochemical data in the field
NITON XRF analyzers provide a cost-effective and portable
alternative to expensive, permanent on-site labs or costly
and untimely sample dispatch to off-site laboratories. NITON
handheld XL3 analyzers provide many operational and cost
benefits including:
- Real-time decision making – no lab-related delays
- Rapid delineation of ore boundaries
- Immediate determination of non-visual ore zones
- Overall improvement in mine product
- Legally defensible data to prove financial,
environmental, and social responsibility
- Real-time assay directly at the mine face, from
bagged samples during survey or drilling operations, or
from prepared samples
