Thermo Scientific Niton XL5 Plus Mining Mode
XRF Mining and Metallurgical Processing Analyzer
Niton has developed a propriety algorithm for field analysis of geological samples; Specifically designed for exploration and mining processes. These algorithms, when ran on the XL5 Plus XRF analyzer, provide the most comprehensive and powerful field results available via XRF analysis. The XL5 Plus is Thermo Niton’s flag ship portable analyzer. It comes standard with many features that are optional on other instruments, including both Macro and Micro cameras for documentation. We maintain the largest fleet of available rental XL5 Plus instruments in the nation and our knowledgeable technicians are always available to answer any questions.
