We are Niton UK

Niton UK is the market leader for handheld XRF instruments. This leadership encompasses not only the number of instruments sold and market share but also significant market experience and expertise in the handheld XRF product range. The company represents the Thermo Scientific Niton XRF products manufactured in the USA, although the UK business is independent and not a subsidiary.

Thermo Scientific Niton products are very well respected for their quality, both in terms of their operation and their durability. The range is constantly being developed with new models being introduced, many of which have won innovation and design awards in recent years.

Niton UK is an ISO registered company therefore, customers can be confident in the quality of service and the consistency of support provided.

The business is also unique in having the only UK based service facility dedicated for handheld XRF instruments, so giving excellent turnaround times, competitive products having to be sent away for repair or re-calibration. To assist customers still further, the Company offers a preventative maintenance contract, which includes the loan of instruments, wherever possible, to assist clients while their own is in for repair or servicing.

Following a management buy-out lead by Malcolm Sibbald, YSI’s Director of Metallurgy, Niton UK was formed in 1999 and began sales and distribution of the innovative Niton handheld XRF alloy analysers in the UK and Eire.

In 2002 Niton LLC, based in Boston USA, introduced the world’s first ever handheld XRF instrument with a miniature X-ray tube source for alloy and environmental applications. Following its launch in the UK, Niton UK have recently sold the 1000th analyser and is now the # 1 supplier of portable XRF analysers in the UK.
