Soil screening

Localize anomalies professionally with mobile XRF

Chemical analyses of toxic elements in soils are tedious and expensive. Portable XL3-analysers enable fast on-site screening with precise results in order to specifically localise the contaminated area. In combination with a Bluetooth-GPS-module, the portable NITON XL3 is able to connect the measurement data directly with the geographic position.

Advantages

• Cost savings
• Well-considered decisions
• Reduced disposal costs
• Increased safety
• Perform fast analyses of large areas and examinations in a small mesh, dynamic grid
• Easily map the mining area and the contaminated area via GIS-reference through GPS data
• Identify and localise hotspots and trends
• Specifically select samples for the chemical analysis
• Find geochemical anomalies (with the XL3 air)

Application examples

• Measurement of the phosphate distribution in a Bronze Age settlement in Lossow/Oder (Link)
• Chemical-mineralogical examination of the geoglyph of NASCA in Peru
