New, Handheld XRF Analyser goes for GOLDD

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., (USA) have announced the Niton XL3t Series with geometrically optimized large area drift detector (GOLDD) technology. Groundbreaking GOLDD technology delivers improvements in light element detection, overall sensitivity and measurement times as much as 10 times faster than conventional Si-PIN detectors, and up to 3 times more precise than conventional smaller, silicon drift detectors.

analyser. Although it’s easy to use and delivers fast analysis, it is extremely accurate, precise and can measure light elements without helium or vacuum assistance,’ said Bob Wopperer, Thermo Fisher’s director of business development for Thermo Scientific Niton Analyzers. ‘Wha’s more, it is the ideal multipurpose instrument, whether you need to analyse metal alloys, carry out mining exploration and mapping, detect soil contaminants, or screen toys, electronics and consumer goods for prohibited substances.’
