delineate its boundaries demand the speed and accuracy of a
Thermo Scientific Niton analyzer. The EPA recognizes this
technology’s advantage and has based its Method 6200 soil
testing procedures on handheld XRF. “The result is a clearer
delineation of how soil contamination differs from one part of the
property to another.”

When combined with optional Bluetooth™
communications and a portable GPS device, latitude, longitude, and
elevation are stored along with the analysis data from each test,
permitting real-time contamination mapping.
Further, the Niton XLp 300 Series has the added capability of
measuring lead in consumer products with its “Consumer Goods”
mode. This mode allows you to screen for lead in accordance with
the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008
by adding the extended capability to measure lead in plastics,
fabric, and other products. Lead in plastics and similar substrates is
reported in parts per million (ppm), while lead in paint is measured
in micrograms per square centimeter (μg/cm
2
). The instrument is the
only analyzer with a PCS that does not contain an inconclusive range
while still featuring the detection limits necessary to comply with the
CPSIA.
All of our analyzers include fully customizable data fields for rapid
entry of sample location/condition and site conditions, simplifying
reporting and maximizing inspector productivity.
