The NITON XL5 plus mobile elemental analyzer is one of the world's smallest, lightest and most powerful handheld X-ray fluorescence spectrometers. The special combination of 5W X-ray tube and sensitive graphene detector enables highest count rates at best resolution.
Low detection limits and extremely short measuring times are particularly effective in the determination of light elements (Mg, Al, Si, P, S). The analyzer distinguishes even alloys with very narrow tolerances quickly and reliably.

In addition to trace components in microalloyed steels, various elements can be determined with the XL5 plus as part of corrosion prevention. In soil samples or minerals, the smallest element contents from the Mg – U measuring range can be detected.

The modern cast aluminum housing of the XL5 has a futuristic look and is extremely robust. The integrated detector protection ProGuard protects the detector from mechanical damage.

As one of the smallest and lightest X-ray fluorescence spectrometers, the XL5 plus allows long, fatigue-free work - even in hard-to-reach places. A camera integrated in the measuring head is used for exact positioning of the size-adjustable measuring spot. A second camera integrated in the folding display enables complete objects to be recorded for documentation purposes. Both images are linked to the measurement and can be displayed in the analysis reports.

The combination of touch screen and real keys allows unrestricted use of the handheld spectrometer in the rain, with gloves or oily hands. The modern user interface has application-specific profiles. Thus, the user always selects the correct settings and achieves optimal measurement results.
