Thermo Scientific Niton DXL TM TM
Precious Metal Analyzer
Laboratory-quality analysis with the push of a button
Throughout the precious metal life cycle – from refining to
recycling – the goals are always to ensure quality, control
costs, and achieve accurate purity analysis. With the high price
of gold and other precious metals, even a small variation in
composition accuracy can be costly.
Designed specifically for countertop use in retail environments, Niton DXL precious metal analyzers provide you with many
