Thermo Scientific NITON® XL3 Industrial analyzers Offer Unparalleled Performance, Aiding RoHS Compliance and Medical-Grade Alloy Verification

Billerica, MA (January 2, 2008) – Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers, will be demonstrating its Thermo Scientific NITON XL3 700 Series analyzer at the MD&M West Exposition, January 29-31, Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, California, Booth #1492.

Thermo Scientific NITON XL3 Series analyzers provide those involved in medical manufacturing and design with the cost-effective screening of solders, fasteners, and other components to help ensure that they contain the lead concentrations specified for the long-term reliability of their products. However, with RoHS exemptions for certain medical devices set to expire in 2010, NITON XL3 instruments are also the ideal tools for validation and verification of electronic components and medical-grade alloys for the biopharmaceutical industry as it transitions to compliance manufacturing

“In today’s complex regulatory environment, Thermo Scientific NITON XL3 Series instruments are giving manufacturers, OEMs, distributors, and others, the fast, accurate, easy-to-use analytical tools they need for compliance with EU and China RoHS, WEEE, and other regulations,” said Jon Shein, Thermo Fisher’s director of global marketing for the NITON Analyzers business unit. “And as previously exempted sectors come under the RoHS umbrella, our analyzers can help ease their transition with reliable, verifiable results.”
