(Thermo Fisher Scientific: Waltham, MA) -- Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. launches the Niton XL2 Series handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer as the newest member of its family of Thermo Scientific Niton alloy analyzers. Thermo Fisher Scientific is the world’s leading manufacturer of handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers.

"With the launch of the Niton XL2, we now offer a range of products to the aerospace, metal fabrication, foundry, and related industries that are engineered from the ground up to help eliminate any guesswork in verifying metal alloys for manufacturing quality assurance," says Bob Wopperer, director of marketing and business development for Thermo Scientific Niton Analyzers. "We know that the potential for material mix-ups is very real and that the need for traceability is a priority. Our nondestructive analyzers can provide a worry-free solution that takes control of material verification, recovery of lost traceability, isolation of finish welds to validate filler material and dilution, and confirmation of finished products all without damaging samples in any way, which can save both time and additional testing expense."
