The Niton® XL3 XRF Analyzer
The Thermo Scientific Niton XL3 handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer combines purpose-built, proprietary electronics with an ergonomic design and easy to use software, transforming XRF analysis. It is the only handheld XRF analyzer platform to offer you a choice of excitation sources – either a 50 kV miniaturized x-ray tube in the Niton XL3t for the ultimate performance and flexibility, or the patented Infiniton™ in the Niton XL3p which never requires source replacement. From the integrated tilting color touch-screen display to the customizable menus for ease of use, both lightweight Niton XL3 XRF analyzers provide you with heavyweight performance and a set of features engineered to improve your productivity and profitability.
Niton XL3 XRF Analyzer is Simply Superior
In 1999, Thermo Scientific introduced the first high-performance, isotope-based handheld XRF analyzers. In 2002, we pioneered the use of miniaturized x-ray tube technology in a handheld XRF analyzer. Since then we have worked to combine industry-leading expertise with our extensive research & development resources to produce the Niton XL3.

With either instrument, you'll get the following standard accessories: integrated Bluetooth™ and USB communications for direct data transfer to the user's PC; locking carrying case; shielded belt holster; two eight-hour, rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs; battery charger; reference samples/standards; and the Niton Data Transfer (NDT) software suite.
Available options and accessories (varies by application and product) include our GOLDD technology, internal CCD camera for visually identifying & recording images of samples; a user-selectable 3 mm small spot that collimates the x-ray beam for small painted areas when screening toys for lead, components on printed circuit boards, and mineral inclusions on rock faces or drill cores; a choice of three different test stands; the Thermo Scientific Extend-a-Pole™ for in-situ soil and Greenfield surveys; and the Thermo Scientific Hotfoot™ hot surface adaptor, which extends the Niton XL3's ability to test in-service components in petrochemical refineries up to 1000°F (538°C).
With over 20,000 handheld XRF analyzers installed since 1994, and an active customer base of over 18,000 instruments, learn why most customers in the recycling and mining segments are achieving a return on investment measured in several months, while many report that they've paid for the cost of the instrument in weeks, and some in as little as one day. Similarly, if you're in the petrochemical industry, you can reduce risk through alloy verification, while if you manufacture toys and other child-accessible products you can use them to drive toy screening compliance with global regulations.
