Product Specifications
Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t
XRF technology has taken a giant leap
forward with the next generation of
portable analyzers – the handheld
Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t. Building
on the success of the award-winning
Niton
® XLt Series, the Niton XL3t x-ray
tube-based XRF analyzer continues to
lead the market through excellence in
innovation.
Niton XL3t Series analyzers provide many distinct
advantages:
• Very easy to use – even by non-technical personnel
• Lab-quality performance in a handheld instrument
• Improved cycle time for high sample throughput
A History of Innovation
A history of breakthrough technologies
distinguishes Thermo Scientific Niton x-ray
fluorescence (XRF) analyzers. In 2002,
we pioneered the use of miniaturized
x-ray tubes in handheld XRF analyzers.
Since that time, the performance and
features of Niton XRF instruments have
improved continuously. Now we introduce
a groundbreaking new generation of
portable XRF analyzers, combining
advanced electronics and materials
technology with the most powerful
x-ray tubes ever used in a handheld XRF
instrument: presenting the Niton XL3t.
Featuring a high-performance
thermoelectrically cooled detector, 80
MHz real-time digital signal processing,
and dual state-of-the-art embedded
processors for computation, data storage,
communication, and other functions,
the Niton XL3t incorporates many new
features directly benefiting the customer.
From the integrated, tilting, color, touch-
screen display to the customizable menus
for ease of use, these ergonomic new
analyzers are both the lightest weight
and most ruggedly constructed x-ray
tube-sourced handheld XRF analyzers
ever made. Niton XL3t instruments can
be used for many nondestructive testing
applications, including analysis of metal
alloys, screening of electronics and
consumer goods for prohibited substances,
mining exploration and grade control, and
more. For example, the Thermo Scientific
Niton XL3t 800 Series is the definitive
tool for scrap metal recycling, casting and
fabrication, manufacturing and Positive
Material Identification (PMI). Alloy grade ID
and QC testing typically take 1 to 2 seconds,
with accurate alloy chemistry in as little
as 3 to 5 seconds. Similarly, compliance
testing for meeting the demands set forth in
the Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act (CPSIA), Proposition 65, Restriction of
Hazardous Substances (RoHS), and other
regulations is faster than ever before
with the Niton XL3t 700 Series, including
screening of incoming materials, stocks and
outgoing finished goods. Detection limits
for all banned substances are improved –
especially for cadmium – with the 50 kV
x-ray tube sample excitation system.
The Niton XL3t’s analytical power alone puts
it in a field by itself. With its many standard
PMI for critical applications.
