Thermo Scientific Niton FXL 970

THERMO SCIENTIFIC NITON FXL 970

The Thermo Scientific Niton FXL field x-ray lab delivers XRF-based elemental analysis with superior performance capabilities 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.

The Thermo Scientific Niton FXL field x-ray lab offers unmatched performance, features, and mobility.

• New Thermo Scientific z-CAL mining mode with optimized light element performance
• 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 countries

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.

The Niton FXL is engineered for your applications:

• Exploration and mining: from base metals and Au mining to mineral sands and PGE
• Oil and gas exploration: infer mineralogical properties favorable to oil and gas production and light element analysis required for gas shale applications
• Industrial minerals: limestone, clay, steel slag, cement, and more
• 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 soils
