Managers, operators and quality control personnel in the fabrication, positive material identification and scrap metal industries can now assess the chemical composition of metals with a new Thermo Scientific Niton XL5 analyzer – smaller and lighter than any XRF alloy analyzer on the market today.
Weighing only 2.8 pounds, the compact analyzer enables operators to access difficult-to-reach areas to maximize test coverage, reduces user fatigue and provides exceptionally low limits of detection (LODs).
“Precise quality control testing of metal chemistry is becoming increasingly important, especially in the high-growth metals fabrication market,” said Howard Kopech, vice president/general manager, portable analytical instruments for Thermo Fisher Scientific. “We designed the Niton XL5 analyzer to increase user productivity and confidence while providing a powerful solution to help our customers achieve increased levels of quality assurance, quality control and analytical performance.”
The Thermo Scientific Niton XL5 analyzer also offers – a powerful 5W x-ray tube for detecting light elements, micro and macro cameras for enhanced data collection, customizable profile creations before testing, new user interface and display including touchscreen with swiping functionality, improved ingress protection for rugged environments, a hot-swappable battery and travel charger for improved operator efficiency in the field.
