Thermo Scientific Niton XL5 Plus handheld XRF analyser

Material verification and contaminant detection are crucial steps in quality assurance. From analysing oil and gas pipelines to testing polluted soil, if verification isn’t correctly performed, it can pose a potential threat to public safety. As a result, inspection personnel require a versatile elemental analyser that provides peak performance and real-time insights to complete the task at hand and defend against potentially dangerous scenarios.

The Thermo Scientific Niton XL5 Plus handheld XRF analyser helps businesses mitigate risk through the use of X-ray fluorescence technology by providing lab-quality elemental analysis directly in the field. The product is claimed to be the smallest and lightest portable XRF analyser on the market, weighing only 1.27 kg; this provides users with accessibility in hard-to-manoeuvre workspaces while minimising operator fatigue. Featuring enhanced software and detector technology, the product provides high analytical performance when analysing both light elements and heavy metals. Its versatility makes it a useful tool for numerous applications where elemental analysis is needed.

As a go-to resource for organisations in a variety of industrial settings, the product features detector protection to mitigate the risk of damage to the detector window. This enhances the durability of the XRF analyser, particularly in recycling and scrap metal settings where punctures from sharp objects is common. As a result, operators should be able to avoid repairs and enjoy a long product lifetime.
