Analytical Performance

Designed to return lab quality results, the Niton XL5’s low limits of detection allow operators to scan a broad range of materials for diverse applications. Identify pure metals and alloys, obtain geochemical data, screen for heavy metals or determine plating and coating thickness. From metals to mining, and everything in between, the Niton XL5 is ready to work.

Rapid Results

Powered by a 5W x-ray tube, the Niton XL5 generates fast and accurate results. A dynamic current adjustment ensures optimum sensitivity for each measurement. Results are displayed in real time, enabling you to make faster decisions.

Size and Weight

Make light work of heavy industrial tasks utilizing the Niton XL5. Weighing an industry leading 2.8 pounds (1.3 kilograms), the Niton XL5 is the lightest handheld XRF Analyzer available for elemental determination and alloy identification.1 It’s small footprint and featherweight design reduce operator fatigue while increasing productivity.

Design

Tight spots are no match for the Niton XL5. Discover expanded field use with improved compact geometry and ergonomics. Reaching tight welds, corners and joints, are no longer defined as awkward test spots for the Niton XL5.

Functionality

Vivid new icons and an application interface ease navigation and configuration. Utilize swipe and touchscreen functionality, even with a gloved hand. Optional directional keys provide added usability. A micro and macro camera enable precise sample positioning and collect images for better record keeping. WiFi accessibility also automatically transmits data from your device to PC.
