Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched the Niton XL2 Goldd series handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyser for environmental hazards testing and measuring contaminants.
The company has also introduced and enhanced the Niton XL3t Goldd+ series.
Thermo Scientific Niton analysers are said to provide high accuracy in measuring environmental contaminants.
The company's geometrically optimised large area drift detector (Goldd) technology is said to deliver faster measurement times and lower detection limits - as much as 10 times faster than conventional Si-Pin detectors and up to three times more precise than conventional smaller silicon drift detectors.
The technology allows the easy detection and measurement of low levels of RCRA metals, priority pollutants and the US Environmental Protection Agency target analytes.
'With the launch of the Niton XL2 Goldd and enhanced Niton XL3t Goldd+, we can now offer a range of products that gives users the ability to test thousands of samples on site, whether the need is for lead paint screening and sediment analysis or the real-time delineation of contamination site boundaries,' said Bob Wopperer, director of marketing and business development for Thermo Scientific Niton analysers.
