Thermo Fisher Scientific Debuts Niton XL2 Series Analyzer

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Billerica, Mass., has added the Niton XL2 Series handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer to its Thermo Scientific Niton alloy analyzers line.

“With the launch of the Niton XL2, we can now offer scrap recyclers a range of products are that engineered from the ground up to deliver a new level of productivity and profitability to today’s metal recycling industry,” says Bob Wopperer, director of marketing and business development for Thermo Scientific Niton Analyzers.

According to Thermo Fisher Scientific, handheld Niton XL2 and Niton XL3 Series XRF analyzers are purpose-built for taking measurements anywhere, anytime, with accurate results available in seconds, providing savings over traditional laboratory testing. The non-destructive devices provide integral storage of all test results. Multiple communication options include Bluetooth wireless, USB and RS-232 serial communication ports. The analyzers also are equipped with Thermo Scientific Niton Data Transfer (NDT) software, a suite of data management utilities that allows users to set operator permissions, print certificates of analysis to document results or operate the analyzer remotely from a PC. Thermo says the NDT file format preserves and protects the data from each sample analysis, ensuring that this data is not unintentionally or intentionally compromised.
