Vanta
Vanta handheld XRF analyzers are rugged and built for analytically demanding applications in the harsh environments. Vanta analyzers are IP65 rated for protection against dust and water and are drop tested. Three models: M series, C series, L series. The M series is the most powerful and is equipped with a large-area silicon drift detector and either a rhodium or tungsten anode. The C series combines speed with LOD and elemental range equipped with a silicon detector and either a Rh or W anode. The L series in the most rugged, ease of use, contains a silicon PIN detector designed for maximum uptime and lower cost of ownership.
