Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., has recently announced NITON Data Transfer (NDT©) Software Release 6.4 for its handheld Thermo Scientific NITON XL3 Series analysers. Thermo Fisher Scientific is the world's leading manufacturer of handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysers.

This significant upgrade introduces features such as TestAll technology, live spectra and peak identification, Simplified Chinese language support, and a new Consumer Goods screen.

  • >> TestAll Technology automatically selects the correct analytical mode for consumer goods
    analysis


  • >> Live Spectra and Peak ID enables identification of non-standard elements found in samples; for
    mining, environmental and archaeometry applications


  • >> Simplified Chinese added to existing support for English, French, German, Spanish and
    Portuguese


  • >> Consumer Goods Menu includes TestAll technology, metals and minerals, plastics and painted
    products modes (calibration upgrade requires a small fee)


  • >> Support for Small Spot Focus in Mining Applications allows isolation and analysis of veins and
    inclusions in mineral samples


  • >> Support for Small Spot Alloy Helium Mode enables analysis of light elements in welds and
    inclusions


    • In addition to these capabilities, Software Release 6.4 allows users to customize the displayed Sigma value to meet preferences, view the camera image from a stored reading, normalize out the light element content of an alloy and view data in either parts per million (ppm) or percent (%) for precious metals
    (alloy) and bulk (soil) mode.

    Complex testing scenarios, lot-centric manufacturing processes, government regulated testing and the diverse requirements of compliance certifications make it essential for today's analytical instruments to provide flexible, sophisticated and easy-to-use data analysis and presentation tools, said Paul Martin, Thermo Fisher's director of product management for the NITON Analysers business unit. With the latest release of our NDT software, we are providing capabilities that can help make our customers more successful.

    Martin continued, For example, TestAll technology, with its automatic mode selection, automatically
    determines whether lead is present on the surface of the sample undergoing testing or in the substrate. It
    eliminates the guesswork in consumer goods analysis for faster, more efficient screening.
