Thermo Scientific
Niton XL3t Handheld XRF Analyzer
Foreign body identification (FBI) is increasingly
important to ensure hard-earned brand integrity and
consumer safety in the competitive, high-visibility
food industry.
Foreign objects and food contaminants such as
metal, glass and plastic can potentially be transported
through the processing stream and into market-ready
consumables.
Maintain Production and Brand Integrity
Thermo ScientificTM NitonTM analyzers enable accurate,
on-the-spot FBI, quickly targeting the source of
contamination and minimizing costly down time. Fieldproven for ruggedness and reliability, our portable x-ray
fluorescence (XRF) analyzers help food processors
maintain production efficiencies while ensuring brand
integrity and consumer protection.
Strengthen Your FBI with Portable Niton XRF
• Create contaminant libraries of factory materials
• Evaluate contamination sources with
matching tools
• Obtain high sensitivity at line or in the lab
• Capture images of scanned samples
and send reports
Common sources of contamination include
manufacturing equipment and raw materials.
Suppliers, production staff and customers can
also introduce adulteration.
Visual and other conventional sourceidentification practices often result in faulty
assessments, further confounding the type and
source of contamination.
