Thermo Scientific Niton XRF AnalyzersScreening for lead paint and on-site environmental hazards made easy, efficient, and cost effectiveEnvironmentalHazards TestingPhoto courtesy of istockphoto.comSimplify On-site Contaminant Screening with Thermo Scientific Niton XRF AnalyzersThermo Scientific Niton XRF analyzers allow you to perform rapid, on-the-spot screening for accurate elemental identification with the simple pull of a trigger. Lightweight and ruggedly built for virtually any field environment or weather condition, you can easily detect and measure RCRA metals, priority pollutants, and U.S. EPA target analytes. Our handheld analyzers offer nearly instantaneous, legally-defensible results for fast decision making at significantly less cost than off-site laboratory testing.Screen for environmental hazards in seconds with point-and-shoot simplicityThe identification and remediation of environmental contaminants is a major, costly challenge worldwide. From hazardous site modeling and risk assessment to on-site contaminant screening and lead paint abatement, to testing for Chinese drywall, the ability to collect and efficiently analyze thousands of samples in situ is a fundamental requirement. Accuracy and speed are imperative; relying solely on off-site testing labs can be time consuming and expensive.Now there is a better solution that provides near real-time results and can fit literally in the palm of your hand – the choice of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other leading regulatory organizations.Niton XL3t FeAtuRe leAdeR Thermo Scientific Niton XRF AnalyzersNiton XL3t GOLDD+ultIMAte PeRFORMAnCe And FeAtuReSThermo Scientific Niton handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers are revolutionizing elemental analysis with the simple pull of the trigger.

See results in seconds on a bright, color, touch-screen display. u Purpose-built Ruggedized with sealed construction, our analyzers are built with tough LEXAN® plastic and weigh approximately three pounds (1.36 kg) each; dust- and waterproof for worry-free use virtually anywhere. One-step system check requires no external accessories while advanced batteries support up to 10 hours of continuous operation on a single charge.u Nondestructive Unlike destructive testing methods, samples remain intact and undamaged.u Application-optimized High-performance x-ray detector options are matched specifically to environmental screening applications. u Flexible communications Bluetooth™ wireless and USB communications interfaces are included in every analyzer. Advanced Niton Data Transfer (NDT©) PC software lets you set user permissions, print certificates of analysis to document results, or operate the analyzer right from your PC.Niton XLp 300 Series Niton XL2 GOLDD Series Niton XL3t Series Niton XL3t GOLDD+ SeriesIdeal for residential lead paint testing; supported by PCS with no inconclusive range/no substrate correctionlead screening in environmental applicationsenhanced performance for silver,cadmium, tin, and bariumSuperior light element detection (Mg-S) without helium purge or vacuum; helium optionalSoil mode for outdoor risk assessmentdust mode to pre-screen clearance samplesRapid RCRA metals analysis Real-time delineation of contamination boundariesCCd camera standardFast, easy-to-use tool for RRP Rule compliancelight element detection (Mg-S) Soils, sediments, painted surfaces,air filters, and liquids, including paint and waste waterOffers fastest on-site analysis of drywall and metal surfaces for sulfur attack from Chinese drywallConsumer Products mode for complete elevated blood levels (eBl) evaluationsIdeal for gypsum testing ofChinese drywallu.S. ePA Method 6200 compliant; meets nIOSH Method 7702 requirementsEnvironmental Hazards ScreeningThe U.S. EPA and other regulatory agencies have chosen and trust Thermo Scientific Niton analyzers“…my client had a demolition project and needed to identify if the building components…contained any state-identified RCRA metals that would preclude them from being used as clean fill.“Bulk sampling and analyzing by wet laboratory methods would have taken too long and been cost prohibitive. Using the [Thermo Scientific Niton] XRF XL3 analyzer, we had instant results and cut our time on site, resulting in a cost savings for our client.”– Jack L .
