NITON XLt / XLp / XLi 700

The Ideal Screening Tool for Environmental Testing

Requirements for identification of environmental contaminants in residential, commercial and industrial settings continue to increase globally. Common toxic metals – including lead, arsenic, cadmium, chromium and mercury – are frequently found in the environment as the result of industrial activity. Whether the unintended consequence of industrial processes or through willful disregard for environmental regulations, the issue cannot be ignored. Analysis must be performed to identify and quantify these contaminants to assess risk and develop remediation plans. Regulators, consultants and other environmental professionals are faced with the daunting task of collecting and analyzing hundreds or thousands of samples to identify the scope and boundaries of potential contamination, often encompassing large sites. More problematic, sample types are numerous, including soils, sediments, painted surfaces and dust inside structures; ambient air and personal monitoring samples may also be required. Laboratory costs often run into the hundreds of US$ per sample, with results frequently taking several weeks due to laboratory capacity. The need to obtain real-time results is evident; by obtaining analytical results on-site, users dynamically modify inspection and remediation plans based upon hard data, driving efficiencies previously unavailable with more “conventional” approaches. Applications ranging from elevated blood lead (EBL) investigations to site assessment, emergency response to site remediation, and brownfield cleanup to occupational safety and health (OSHA) compliance all directly benefit from the use of field-portable NITON X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers. NITON Analyzers provide qualitative and lab-quality quantitative results in real- time. They are the worldwide standard for XRF analysis, providing on-site analysis of everything from phosphorus through plutonium with accurate quantification from parts per million (ppm) through percent concentration.NITON 700 Series analyzers provide 3-sigma precision while maintaining the speed necessary for use as rapid assessment tools. With ease-of-use as their hallmark, they combine light weight with high sensitivity,
