Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t 800 Handheld XRF Analyzer with General Metals and Precious Metals modes

Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t 800 handheld XRF analyzer for General Metals and Precious Metals analysis

The Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t 800 is a handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer used for non-destructive material analysis of metals, alloys, and manufactured items. The XL3t Series is specified as an x-ray tube-based XRF platform with semiconductor detection and on-instrument operation suited to field and shop workflows where rapid alloy identification and compositional screening are required.

Field workflow features specified for the XL3t Series

• Handheld, x-ray tube-based XRF format for portable metal analysis and verification tasks.
• Adjustable-angle, color, touch-screen display for instrument control and results review.
• Internal capacity specified for more than 10,000 readings with spectra.
• Connectivity specified to support USB, Bluetooth, and RS-232 serial communication.
• Lithium-ion battery operation specified for mobile use.

General Metals and Precious Metals operating scope

• General Metals: The XL3t Series is specified with a standard analytical range of more than 25 elements from sulfur (S) to uranium (U), supporting broad alloy and material screening within that stated range.
• Precious Metals: Analysis of precious metals including Au (gold), Ag (silver), Pt (platinum), and Pd (palladium), and also references additional precious-group elements such as Ir (iridium), Rh (rhodium), and Ru (ruthenium).

Applications

• Incoming material verification and alloy sorting for non-human metal stock and components
• Positive material identification (PMI) screening on fabricated components and weld-adjacent base materials
• Precious-metal item screening where non-destructive compositional analysis is required
