Testing Lead Content in Consumer Items Using a Handheld XRF Analyzer

Jon Shein from Thermo Fisher Scientific demonstrates how their Niton XL3t handheld XRF analyzer can quickly check for lead content/contamination in consumer items. With their in-built test program, you can quickly evaluate items on a pass/fail basis, making it ideal for quality control applications

The camera facility built into the Niton XL3t also allows the user to focus their analysis on a 3mm diameter spot to analyze specific features.
