Description
High-Performance Elemental Analysis for the Toughest Environments
The Vanta Max represents the peak of the Evident Vanta Series—delivering laboratory-grade precision in a truly field-ready form. Engineered with a 50kV rhodium or silver anode X-ray tube and large-area Silicon Drift Detector (SDD), it achieves outstanding speed and sensitivity from magnesium through uranium, making it ideal for high-demand applications across mining, exploration, and advanced metals industries.
Built for Real-World Performance
The Vanta Max was designed from the ground up for reliability, endurance, and accuracy. Tested to MIL-STD-810G and rated IP65 (electronics) / IP64 (probe), it shrugs off dust, rain, and vibration that would stop lesser instruments. Its –10 °C to 50 °C continuous operating range keeps you working in the heat of a smelter yard or the cold of a remote exploration site.
Smart engineering extends to the user experience—a glove-friendly 4.3-inch touchscreen, hot-swappable batteries, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth® connectivity streamline daily operations, while the Evident Scientific Cloud simplifies data management and collaboration.
Precision That Drives Decisions
The large-area SDD enables rapid count rates and superior energy resolution, ensuring precise detection even at low concentrations. Whether confirming base-metal grades, analyzing rare-earth oxide ores, or validating alloy chemistry before a melt, the Vanta Max delivers repeatable results in seconds. Real-time SmartCal System corrections maintain calibration accuracy across changing environmental conditions—keeping confidence in every test.
Mining and Exploration Applications
In mining, knowledge is profit. The Vanta Max equips geologists and exploration teams with the analytical power to:
- Characterize Ore Bodies: Rapidly determine grades of Cu, Pb, Zn, Fe, Ni, etc. in core or outcrop samples.
- Map Geochemistry: Identify elemental halos and pathfinder elements during soil and drill campaigns.
- Reduce Assay Turnaround: Make go/no-go decisions in the field, minimizing delays and sample freight costs.
- Verify Concentrates: Confirm product composition before shipment or blending.
Its superior light-element performance and broad elemental range make it equally effective in carbonatite, laterite, and sulfide systems, supporting REE exploration and critical-minerals programs worldwide.
