Niton™ XL2 XRF Precious Metal Analyzer

Perform accurate gold analysis, quickly detect gold plating and counterfeit gold, and test the purity and chemistry of all precious metals with a handheld XRF gold analyzer.

The Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ XL2 XRF Precious Metal Analyzer is a professional-grade, handheld gold analyzer designed to deliver fast, accurate, and non-destructive precious metal testing. It provides a reliable way to test gold purity and determine the exact elemental composition of jewelry, coins, bullion, and other precious metal items—without cutting, scratching, or using chemicals.

With the volatility and high price of gold, failing to detect even a small variation in composition can be an expensive mistake. The Niton™ XL2 XRF Precious Metal Analyzer delivers accurate analysis in just seconds in an easy-to-use, robust, and reliable package, giving users absolute confidence in the value of the precious metals they buy, sell, or inspect.

The all-new Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ XL2 Plus XRF analyzer comes with a host of new features, such as Detector ProGuard protection and hot swap battery, the Niton XL2 Plus keeps you primed, prepped and ready to analyze.

Fast, Accurate, and Non-Destructive Gold Testing

The Niton™ XL2 XRF Precious Metal Analyzer provides a nondestructive method for testing the purity and chemistry of all precious metals. It quickly detects gold plating and counterfeit gold and measures the content of gold (Au), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and other elements—without the need to manually change calibrations based on the metal being analyzed.

Compared to traditional methods, the Niton XL2 is:

  • Easier, faster, and more accurate than nitric acid testing
  • Faster and more comprehensive than fire assay, with comparable accuracy
  • Capable of delivering near-instantaneous results through point-and-shoot operation

Advanced Gold-Plating & Alloy Detection

The Niton™ XL2 incorporates Thermo Scientific™ AuDIT™ gold-plating detection technology, which efficiently identifies most gold-plated and layered items. In addition to gold purity, the analyzer precisely determines the presence and concentration of trace alloying elements, as well as dangerous heavy elements that may impact valuation, resale, or future refining needs.

This makes the Niton XL2 an ideal solution for applications requiring a handheld XRF gold analyzer with high accuracy and confidence.
