Thermo Scientific Niton XL5 XRF Analyzer

Small size, big power

Fast, accurate, versatile XRF analysis

When versatility, low limits of detection (LODs) and high

sample throughput are critical, industrial businesses rely on
the Thermo ScientificTM NitonTM XL5 handheld XRF analyzer.
Providing customers with solutions designed to meet their
most demanding applications, the Niton XL5 maximizes
performance and productivity.

Applications
• Verification of metals and alloys in manufacturing operations
• Non-destructive field inspections for positive
material identification
• Point-and-shoot sorting at scrap recycling operations
• Measurement of single or multi-layer coat weight and coating
thickness in surface treatment control
• Precious metal assay of bullion and jewelry
• Real-time geochemical analysis for mining exploration
• On-site heavy metal screening of polluted soils
• Screening for hazardous substances in consumer goods
• Custom applications on demand

Analytical performance
Designed to return lab quality results, the Niton XL5’s low limits
of detection allow operators to scan a broad range of materials
for diverse applications. Identify pure metals and alloys, obtain
geochemical data, screen for heavy metals or determine
plating and coating thickness. From metals to mining, and
everything in between, the Niton XL5 is ready to work.

Rapid results
Powered by a 5W x-ray tube, the Niton XL5 generates fast
and accurate results. A dynamic current adjustment ensures
optimum sensitivity for each measurement. Results are The Niton XL5 in use, analyzing a tight weld in an oil refinery.
