Features

Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t GOLDD+ XRF Analyzer

Industries from mining and exploration to scrap metal recycling depend on fast, accurate elemental analysis. The Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ XL3t GOLDD+ XRF Analyzer provides reliable, real-time data for sample identification and positive material identification for even difficult-to-analyze light elements, without helium purging or vacuum pumps. 

The Niton XL3t GOLDD+ Analyzer delivers a feature-rich package enhanced with Geometrically Optimized Large Area Drift Detector (GOLDD™) technology for improved light element (Mg-S) analysis, the lowest limits of detection and fastest measurement times.

⚡ Performance:

GOLDD Technology: When low detection limits and high sample throughput are critical, the Niton XL3t GOLDD+ XRF analyzer delivers measurement times up to 10-times faster than conventional Si-PIN detectors and up to 3-times more precise than conventional smaller silicon drift detectors (SDD) - without helium purge or vacuum. For further enhancing light element analysis, a helium purge option is available. Niton analyzers also feature the highest performance X-ray tube and speed detector available on the market.

🧪 Wide Range of Applications:

  • Scrap Metal Recycling: 
    • Sorts aluminum, titanium and bronze alloys, and achieves superior performance for tramp and trace element analysis.
  • Mining Exploration: 
    • Fast, accurate analysis of light elements. 
    • Identifies anomalies near the averages naturally found in the earth's crust. 
    • Facilitates advanced exploration and soil analysis, concentrate measurement, ore blending, precious metal identification and lab analysis prequalification.
