Common sources of contamination include manufacturing equipment and raw materials. Suppliers, production staff and customers can also introduce adulteration.

Visual and other conventional source- identification practices often result in faulty assessments, further confounding the type and source of contamination.

Foreign body identification (FBI) is increasingly important to ensure hard-earned brand integrity and consumer safety in the competitive, high-visibility food industry.

Foreign objects and food contaminants such as metal, glass and plastic can potentially be transported through the processing stream and into market-ready consumables.

Maintain Production and Brand Integrity

Thermo ScientificTM NitonTM analyzers enable accurate, on-the-spot FBI, quickly targeting the source of contamination and minimizing costly down time. Field-proven for ruggedness and reliability, our portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers help food processors maintain production efficiencies while ensuring brand integrity and consumer protection.

Strengthen Your FBI with Portable Niton XRF

• Create contaminant libraries of factory materials • Evaluate contamination sources with matching tools • Obtain high sensitivity at line or in the lab • Capture images of scanned samples and send reports
