The Power to Unearth More

Fast, Reliable Geochemical Analysis — Right at the Drill Site

The Vanta Max XRF Analyzer is our most powerful solution for real-time geochemical analysis in exploration, mining, and grade control. Designed for rugged field conditions and engineered for analytical precision, the Vanta Max analyzer empowers geologists and exploration teams to make confident decisions—instantly.

For the detection of rare earth elements and heavy elements, opt for the power of our Vanta Max 55kV tungsten anode tube model. Its enhanced sensitivity enables you to detect these elements and low-level indicators:

Rare Earth Elements Lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (GD)

Heavy Elements Trace silver (Ag), cadmium (Cd), tin (Sn), antimony (Sb), barium (Ba)

Built to Last, Proven to Perform

Exploration doesn’t always happen in ideal conditions. That’s why the Vanta Max analyzer is engineered to perform in the world’s toughest environments.

IP65-rated for dust and water resistance
Drop-tested to MIL-STD-810G
Operates in extreme temperatures, from desert heat to alpine cold

Boost Productivity. Reduce Costs. Make Smarter Decisions.

On-site decision making: With the Vanta Max XRF in your toolkit, your team gains lab-quality results in the field, saving time, reducing sample backlogs, and increasing confidence in every decision.
Peace of mind: Built on a legacy of rugged XRF analyzers trusted across mining operations, the Vanta Max analyzer is backed by a comprehensive three-year warranty.
Trusted XRF technology: Vanta series’ proprietary Axon Technology uses ultra-low-noise electronics, enabling a higher X-ray count rate for fast, accurate, and repeatable results.
