Niton FXL Field X-ray Lab Spec Sheet

Product SpecificationsFit. Form. Function.More than 25,000 Thermo Scientific Niton analyzers are hard at work today around the world, making our customers more efficient and competitive. We’ve now elevated our x-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology and product design to a totally new level.The Niton® FXL field x-ray lab offers our highest XRF-based performance and lowest levels of detection for up to 40 critical elements. It is constructed from durable Lexan® plastic that is both dust- and water-resistant to operate flawlessly in harsh environments. Compact and weighing less than 30 pounds (14 kg), it’s easy to transport and operate from the back of a truck, on a portable tripod, or at the loading dock or manufacturing line. The Niton FXL is based on our proven, purpose-built software: there’s no PC required, alleviating the worry of a computer crash and loss of data. Not only does this breakthrough instrument include advanced batteries that support extended continuous operation on a single charge, it is also free of air filters that can clog if not maintained.Thermo Scientific Niton FXLField X-ray LabThe Thermo Scientific Niton FXL field x-ray lab delivers XRF-based elemental analysis with lab-quality performance in a compact, portable package you can operate virtually anywhere on site. Experience superior test results in minutes rather than days, and save the significant expense of shipping samples to offsite testing labs.Part of Thermo Fisher ScientificNiton FXL Mining analzyer (top)Niton FXL Consumer Goods/RoHS analyzerThe Thermo Scientific Niton FXL field x-ray lab offers unmatched performance, features, and mobility. • True lab-quality performance and lowest levels of elemental detection• Nondestructive with accurate, consistent analysis in minutes – or less• Easy to use, with little operator training required• Lightweight and ruggedized for field and manufacturing operations• Available with spot sizes from 1 mm to 8 mm • Closed-beam design requires minimal licensing in most countriesTake your lab anywhere you need itFast. Accurate. Easy to use.Designed for operator ease of use.The Niton FXL makes elemental analysis easy for everyone. Open the lid and place your sample into the 9” x 12” x 4.5” test chamber. Then simply press a button on the bright, 9” color touch screen to get accurate results within a few minutes or less. Thermo Scientific TestAll technology automatically selects the correct analytical testing mode for the operator. Select pre-determined analysis settings for your specific applications.While the Niton FXL is powerful, fast, easy to use, and extremely mobile, you also get the critical features you expect from a commercial-quality test lab:• Integrated camera with small-spot feature: The Niton FXL allows you to test areas as small as 1 mm and conveniently store sample measurements for later reference.• X-Y positioning: After placing your sample in the test chamber, this feature lets you position the XRF head quickly to the precise spot you want to test. • Sample spinner: The sample is rotated within the chamber during testing, ensuring an overall accurate reading that best characterizes the entire sample.• Closed-beam design: The Niton FXL uses a closed-beam design that simplifies licensing requirements in most countries.

For example, in mining exploration you can now easily achieve lab-quality assays with basic sample preparation, or get exceptional light element LODs with the lowest Mg levels for dolomite in limestone.u Now your commercial lab comes to you – a valuable resource you can carry on the back of a truck or move easily throughout your inspection department, warehouse, or store. The Niton FXL is engineered for your applications:• Exploration and mining: from base metals and Au mining to mineral sands and PGE• Industrial minerals: limestone, clay, steel slag, cement, and more• Oil and gas exploration: exceptional performance for mud logging, plus gas and oil shale analysis• Consumer goods testing: more precise testing for Pb, Cd in toys, jewelry, packaging, and more• RoHS compliance: analysis of populated circuit board and consumer electronics with complete confidence• Precious metal alloys: ideal tool for refiners and distributors• Environmental: test for RCRA metals at less than 10 ppm in soilsSmall-spot feature: Isolate test areas as small as 1 mm and conveniently store sample measurements for later reference.COMPARISON AT-A-GLANCE:Handheld XRF analyzers Handheld XRF analyzer inoptional test standField x-ray labMaximum portability +++ ++ +Ease of use +++ +++ +++Highest performance and lowest levels of detection++ ++ +++Laboratory features – – +++Ease of regulatory compliance + ++ +++Legend: +++ Superior ++ Excellent + Good – Not applicable/not available © 2011 Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
