Description
Rent the Olympus Vanta C-Series Handheld XRF Analyzer to obtain rapid, on-site elemental analysis of rocks, soils, and mineral samples. Designed for demanding field conditions, the Vanta C-Series delivers laboratory-quality geochemical data directly at the drill site, core shack, or exploration camp.
Powered by a premium 50 kV Rhodium X-ray tube and a large-area silicon drift detector (SDD), the C-Series provides high sensitivity across the periodic table—from light elements (Mg, Al, Si) to heavy metals (Ba, Pb, U)—making it ideal for exploration geologists, mining engineers, and environmental teams who require accurate, real-time results.
Performance
The Vanta C-Series offers advanced geochemical modes that quantify both major and trace elements in a wide range of geological matrices. Field users can identify mineral anomalies, delineate ore boundaries, or verify sample purity in seconds—without the need for destructive lab testing.
Whether you’re mapping alteration zones, performing grade control, or screening for contamination, the C-Series produces stable, repeatable results under real-world conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which elements can the Vanta C-Series detect in geochemical mode?
A: The C-Series detects a wide range—from light elements (Mg, Al, Si, P, S) to transition and heavy metals (Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Pb, U). It’s suitable for base-metal and precious-metal exploration alike.
Q: How accurate are the results compared to a lab ICP or AAS?
A: While XRF is a quantitative method, the Vanta C-Series offers excellent correlation with lab data for most major and trace elements when properly calibrated and standardized.
Q: Can it be used for soil screening and environmental projects?
A: Yes. The Vanta C-Series is widely used for environmental assessment, EPA Method 6200 compliance, and soil screening for metals such as Pb, As, Cd, and Cr.
Q: Is it rugged enough for mine-site conditions?
A: Absolutely. With IP65/67 sealing and MIL-STD-810G drop protection, the Vanta C-Series is engineered to withstand dust, moisture, and vibration on site.
Q: Can I rent multiple units for a large survey?
A: Yes — Alloy Geek offers multi-unit and extended terms for exploration campaigns and contract labs.
