The Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t is a cutting-edge, tube-based handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer built for field-ready lab-grade performance—right in the palm of your hand. Featuring proprietary GOLDD+™ technology, a tilting color touch screen, and rugged ergonomics, it's the industry standard for fast, accurate, non‑destructive elemental testing

Application Modes

The XL3t offers specialized analysis modes tailored for specific industries:

• General Metals: Identify and verify steel, aluminum, titanium, bronze, and more via automatic alloy matching.
• Metal Coatings: Measure substrate/coating thickness (e.g., plating, galvanizing) to microns 
• Soils & Minerals: On-site elemental mapping and soil contaminant screening without lab prep 
• Consumer Goods: Screen electronics, toys, and components for prohibited substances (RoHS, CPSIA, Prop 65)
• Precious Metals: Precise content testing of gold, silver, platinum, and alloys.
• Hot Surface/High‑Temp Testing: Analyze items up to 842 °F (450 °C) with thermal adapters

Real‑World Uses

• Scrap & Recycled Metals: Fast alloy sorting and tramp element detection
• Manufacturing QA/QC: Incoming/outgoing materials verification
• Mining & Exploration: Trace detection and core mapping in-field
• Environmental Testing: In-situ soil/sediment screening
• Coating Inspection: Plating thickness and corrosion studies
• Consumer Safety Compliance: Lead paint and restricted element screening
