In a market where gold prices rise and fall sharply, even a slight miscalculation in composition can cost you dearly. The Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ XL2 XRF Precious Metal Analyzer offers a rapid, highly accurate, and nondestructive way to verify the purity and chemistry of gold and other valuable metals. It swiftly identifies counterfeit and gold-plated items and reveals the exact elemental makeup of coins and jewelry—giving you absolute confidence in the material’s true value.
Built for speed and reliability, the Niton XL2 delivers precise results in seconds without the hassle of switching calibrations for different metals such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt), or palladium (Pd). It outperforms traditional acid testing with greater accuracy and speed, and rivals the precision of fire assay—without the complexity.
With Thermo Scientific AuDIT™ technology, it effectively detects most gold-plated pieces. It also pinpoints trace alloying and hazardous elements that influence both valuation and refining decisions. Fast, dependable, and user-friendly—this analyzer reshapes precious metal testing with clarity and confidence.

Grade A is a classification denoting a tighter tolerance on the wire’s millivolt output compared to standard or Grade B wire, ensuring a higher level of measurement accuracy across the temperature range.
‘Hard’ refers to a stiffer, less pliable wire construction compared to ‘soft’ or fine-strand wire. This makes it more suitable for being held rigidly in place or for applications where mechanical stability is needed.
Yes, while the glass braid is high-temperature resistant, it is porous and will absorb water, which can potentially cause a temporary short circuit. It should be kept dry or protected in wet conditions.
