Thermo Fisher Scientific, Tewksbury, Massachusetts, has released its Niton XL5 Plus hand-held X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. The Niton XL5 Plus helps businesses mitigate risk through the use of XRF technology by providing lab-quality elemental analysis directly in the field.

According to a news release from Thermo Fisher, the Niton XL5 Plus is one of the smallest and lightest portable XRF analyzers on the market and weighs only 2.8 pounds. It provides users with greater accessibility in hard-to-maneuver workspaces while reducing operator fatigue. Featuring enhanced software and improved detector technology, the Niton XL5 Plus provides analytical performance and accuracy when analyzing both light elements and heavy metals.

Thermo Fisher reports that the versatility of the Niton XL5 Plus makes it an ideal tool for numerous applications where elemental analysis is needed.

“Inspection personnel tasked with material verification or contaminant detection are faced with constant pressure to provide quick and accurate analysis, a challenging task when considering the often harsh or remote environments that these professionals work in,” says Chloe Hansen-Toone, vice president and general manager with Thermo Fisher’s field and safety instruments business. “With the Niton XL5 Plus, we’ve made significant advancements to our legacy hand-held XRF analyzer that improves the accuracy and accessibility of data, empowering operators to make insightful decisions that enable a safer worksite.”

Thermo Fisher says the Niton XL5 Plus features new detector protection to mitigate the risk of damage to the detector window, which enhances the durability of the XRF analyzer, particularly in recycling and scrap metal settings where punctures from sharp objects is common. As a result, operators can avoid costly repairs and experience an extended product lifetime.
