REEs have high atomic numbers, necessitating higher-energy X-rays for detection via XRF. An XRF analyzer with a 55 kV X-ray tube is required to deliver enough energy to excite the fluorescence lines of REEs, making this instrument the optimal solution for detecting and analyzing these highly desirable elements.
The New Vanta™ Max XRF Analyzer with 55 kV
Evident Scientific’s Vanta™ Max XRF analyzer with 55 kV represents an advanced REE detection solution, empowering its users to make informed decisions more rapidly thanks to a new level of sensitivity.
Its tungsten anode and enhanced 55 kV X-ray tube allows the Vanta™ Max XRF with 55 kV to excel at REE detection and the detection of elements with low-level indicators, including cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), lanthanum (La), neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm), gadolinium (Gd), and europium (Eu).
The Vanta™ Max XRF analyzer with 55 kV has been purpose-built for early-stage exploration. It affords geologists and exploration teams the sensitivity to detect the subtle clues leading to significant discoveries.

Improved Sensitivity for Critical Discovery
The instrument’s higher voltage (5 kV more than the standard Vanta™ Max model) and improved signal-to-noise ratios make the Vanta™ Max XRF with 55 kV ideally positioned for REE detection.
This is an essential consideration in early-stage exploration, where the instrument’s added sensitivity translates into improved confidence in terms of the location of potential deposits, expedited site validation, and the potential to advance high-value prospects before the competition.
The Vanta™ Max analyzer with 55 kV allows its users to make informed decisions faster, transferring lab-grade insight to the field, whether analyzing drill cores or scanning surface samples.
Designed for Speed and Efficiency
Every minute in the field counts in mining and exploration. The Vanta™ Max XRF with 55 kV has been developed to offer the utmost speed and efficiency.
Its streamlined, field-ready design improves operator comfort and reduces fatigue. Its improved ergonomics make the device feel more balanced, lighter, and easier to handle in the most challenging environments. These features equate to reduced strain during repetitive testing and improved productivity over long days on-site.
The Vanta™ Max analyzer with 55 kV is designed to keep pace with its users, wherever their exploration leads. Its built-in workflow enhancements are key to a streamlined scanning process, with customizable displays, intuitive navigation, quick file access, and user-specific calibrations facilitating quicker setup and simplified data capture.
Built to Last, Proven to Perform
Exploration does not always take place in ideal conditions. The Vanta™ Max analyzer with 55 kV has been designed and engineered to perform in the most challenging environments. The instrument is temperature-rated, drop-tested, and IP-rated for protection against dust and moisture, ensuring reliability whether it is used in humid environments, rocky terrain, or remote field camps.
The Vanta™ Max analyzer with 55 kV is built on a legacy of rugged XRF analyzers trusted across a diverse array of mining operations. It is highly portable, durable, reliable, and proven for ongoing use in exploration-critical applications where downtime is unlikely. A comprehensive three-year warranty also covers each unit.
A New Level of Ultra-Sensitive Detection
Its 55 kV excitation and the extended elemental reach and sensitivity afforded by its tungsten anode allows the latest model in Evident Scientific’s Vanta™ XRF analyzer range to offer a new level of ultra-sensitive detection coupled with the comprehensive performance features of the latest Vanta™ Max model.
These new features translate to higher precision, more trace element detection power, exceptional repeatability coupled with robust performance, improved ergonomics, and intuitive workflows.
Its higher voltage and improved sensitivity mean that the Vanta™ Max with 55 kV allows its users to rapidly and accurately pinpoint REEs, unlocking the vital insights that lead to discoveries.
