Description
Rent the Olympus Vanta C-Series Handheld XRF Analyzer for fast, on-site industrial lead-paint testing on steel structures, equipment, bridges, and building components.
This analyzer provides non-destructive screening for lead (Pb) and other heavy metals in coatings, primers, and painted surfaces—helping safety professionals, environmental contractors, and coating inspectors verify compliance and support remediation projects.
Unlike consumer or HUD-certified lead-paint analyzers, this model is configured specifically for industrial and occupational use where coatings are often thick, multilayered, or applied to metallic substrates.
Performance
The Vanta C-Series features a 50 kV Rhodium X-ray tube and high-resolution silicon drift detector (SDD), offering sensitive detection of lead, chromium, cadmium, arsenic, zinc, and other metals commonly found in industrial coatings.
Each reading is displayed in seconds with clear on-screen pass/fail or quantitative Pb results (ppm or wt %).
This unit is ideal for screening painted steel, concrete, and composite surfaces in manufacturing plants, refineries, shipyards, and other regulated industrial environments.
Modes Available
- Geochem (2-beam) for soil, rocks, ore, sand, etc.
- AlloyPlus Mode to assay solid metals
- Precious Metals for precise gold, silver, and other PMs

⚠️ This Olympus Vanta C-Series Handheld XRF Analyzer does not include a HUD Performance Characteristic Sheet (PCS) and is not approved for residential lead-paint inspection or abatement under HUD guidelines.
It is intended solely for industrial lead-paint applications, including coatings on metals and non-residential structures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this analyzer be used for residential lead-paint testing?
A: No. This unit is for industrial applications only and does not have a HUD Performance Characteristic Sheet (PCS). It cannot be used for residential lead abatement or certification testing.
Q: What types of surfaces can it test?
A: It can measure painted surfaces on metal, wood, concrete, and composite materials commonly found in industrial facilities.
Q: Does it require sample preparation?
A: No. Simply place the nose of the analyzer against the coated surface for an instant reading. Thick or multi-layer coatings may require multiple measurements for best accuracy.
Q: Can it detect metals other than lead?
A: Yes — it can quantify other toxic metals such as chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As), often used in industrial coatings.
Q: Is it rugged enough for field work?
A: Yes. The Vanta C-Series is IP65/67 sealed and MIL-STD-810G tested to withstand dust, moisture, and impact in industrial settings.
