Thermo Scientific introduces a rapid nondestructive analysis of small electronic components on heterogeneous samples, like populated circuit boards, is challenging for any size analytical instrument: individual components are small and mounted close together, making them difficult to analyze, and are themselves typically heterogeneous in composition. Thermo Scientific NITON® 700 Series analyzers meet this challenge, combining the features and performance of bench top XRF analyzers with the portability and ease of use of handheld devices.

Advantages of screening PCBs with the NITON 700 Series include:

• Available small-spot analysis reduces the spot size to 3 mm with the tap of an icon for analysis of non-homogeneous parts, such as components, leads, terminals, and solders joints
• An integrated sample imaging system for locating, positioning, analyzing, and recording the analytical results of measurements – something previously only achievable with benchtop XRF analyzers
• Storing all measurement data including Pass/Fail results, element concentrations, qualitative sample information, and XRF spectra; results are encrypted and saved in memory for compliance documentation, traceability, and archiving
• Full field analysis for analyzing larger, homogeneous materials and identification of suspect areas requiring additional measurement
