Description
Niton™ XL2 GOLDD™ Handheld XRF Analyzer
Advanced Detection Power for Light Elements and High-Speed Analysis.
The Niton XL2 GOLDD is the high-performance evolution of the industry-standard XL2. Equipped with the Geometrically Optimized Large Area Drift Detector (GOLDD), this unit provides up to 10 times the speed of conventional detectors and much higher sensitivity. It is the premier choice for professionals in Dubai who require light element detection (Magnesium to Sulfur) without the need for vacuum or helium purging.
- The GOLDD Advantage: Faster results and lower detection limits for more precise material grading.
- Light Element Capability: Easily identifies Al, Mg, Si, P, and S.
- Built for the Field: Completely sealed against the dust and moisture typical of mining and scrap recycling sites.
- Non-Technical Operation: Sophisticated technology delivered through a simple, point-and-shoot interface.
Elevate Your Efficiency with GOLDD Technology
While the standard XL2 is a workhorse, the Niton XL2 GOLDD is built for those who cannot compromise on speed or the ability to detect light elements. At XRF Dubai, we recommend this model for complex metallurgical requirements and high-volume operations.
1. Precision Mining and Soil Testing
The GOLDD technology is a game-changer for mining exploration and soil testing. It allows for the rapid analysis of light elements in ore samples, helping geologists map deposits with incredible accuracy. Its rugged build ensures it survives the harshest desert or excavation environments.
2. Specialized Scraps and Recycling
In the recycling industry, speed equals profit. The XL2 GOLDD identifies alloy grades in seconds, allowing you to sort massive quantities of scraps with total confidence. It excels at distinguishing between similar aluminum and titanium grades that standard analyzers might struggle to differentiate.
3. Advanced Gold Checking and Precious Metals
For high-volume gold testing, the XL2 GOLDD offers lab-quality precision in a handheld form. It identifies not just the gold content, but the entire elemental “fingerprint” of the sample, making it an invaluable tool for detecting sophisticated counterfeits and ensuring the purity of high-value bullion.
4. Industrial Strength Design
Designed with a 45 kV x-ray tube and advanced electronics, this analyzer provides “turn-on to results” performance in seconds. The bright, daylight-readable touch screen is perfect for outdoor use in the intense Dubai sun.
