Introducing Vanta Max and Core

Meet the Next-Generation Vanta™ XRF Analyzers

Vanta Handheld XRF for RoHS and Consumer Safety
Rugged. Revolutionary. Productive.

Vanta handheld XRF analyzers provide rapid, accurate elemental analysis when screening for lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), chromium (Cr), and other toxic metals in consumer products such as toys, apparel and footwear, and electronics to comply with RoHS regulations. Vanta analyzers are ideal tools for a reasonable testing program. With the optional 5-megapixel panoramic camera and Wireless LAN connectivity, Vanta handhelds make it easy to archive sample images and results. Olympus’ ultra-low-noise Axon technology built into every analyzer provides excellent sensitivity for low detection limits and accurate pass/fail results of regulated elements.

Rugged The Vanta series are durable for increased uptime and a low cost of ownership. Vanta analyzers are drop tested using U.S. Department of Defense methods (MIL-STD-810G), reducing the risk of damage and costly repairs when a device is dropped or jostled. Vanta analyzers are also IP55 rated for resistance to dust and water to protect against the hazards found in even the most challenging environments.* Able to withstand a temperature range of -10 °C to 50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F) at full duty cycle, Vanta analyzers ensure you get maximum uptime without wasting time waiting for your analyzer to cool.** * M Series analyzers are IP54 rated. ** With optional fan. Operates continuously at 33 °C without the fan.

	Revolutionary Vanta analyzers give you the same accurate result every time from your first test to your last. The Vanta series’ proprietary Axon technology uses ultra-low-noise electronics enabling higher X-ray counts per second for fast, accurate, and repeatable results. Axon technology coupled with a new quad-core processor makes Vanta analyzers remarkably responsive, pushing the limits of performance so you get the best results in the least amount of time. Axon technology provides remarkable test-to-test as well as instrument-to-instrument repeatability.
