SpectroSCOUT portable ed-xrf analyzer The lab that goes anywhere analysis of mining and geological samples anywhere Spectroscout determining elemental compositions for mining and geological use presents substantial challenges. Field conditions can vary widely, but greenfield or brownfield mining projects and geological field exploration all share a common set of analytical requirements. a primary concern is the need to deliver analytical results on site. Sending samples back to the laboratory adds significant time delays to most projects. In fact, it may render some tasks impractical or impossible. real-time analytical results are essential for assessing progress and for making data-based changes to the direction of drilling. Accuracy is also a necessity. Users require dependable accuracy at all detection levels, from trace elements to high-percentage concentrations. now there’s a proven solution that can provide laboratory-class, reliable, rapid results on site. the new SpectroScoUt analyzer is the lab that goes anywhere. sPEctRoscout PoRtABLE ENERGY DIsPERsIVE X-RAY FLuoREscENcE (ED-XRF) ANALYZER the new SpectroScoUt analyzer incorporates much of the analytical power of top-grade laboratory benchtop analyzers like the Spectro xepoS, while approaching the easy portability of a SPECTRO xSORT handheld instrument. Thus SPECTROSCOUT is to deliver fast, dependable, truly lab-quality results in the field - all at surprisingly low cost. EXcEPtIoNAL PERFoRMANcE EXcELLENt EAsE oF usE coMPEtItIVE cost SPECTROSCOUT provides exceptional Simplified software supplies an effortless The SPECTROSCOUT analyzer’s purchase accuracy at all concentration levels.

In many cases, it turnaround. Bringing unprecedented Unique iCAL calibration takes just 1 sample is also half the price of larger laboratory precision and speed to the field makes and only 5 minutes for standardization. Light instruments. Furthermore, with direct SPECTROSCOUT ideal for applications weight (12 kg/26.46 lb) and small size (270 x improvements in mining or exploration such as analyzing cores - e.g., to detect 306 x 306 mm/10.7 x 12.1 x 12.1 in) provide productivity due to rapid availability of ac-shale gas boundary layers - enabling convenient portability. And an optional inte-curate information, SPECTROSCOUT fast direction changes that maximize grated video system allows precise (1 mm) delivers an outstanding return on drilling productivity. spot testing, plus image storage. investment. Spectroscout laboratory quality with fast field results FAMILIAR INTERFACE Like the popular SPECTRO XEPOS analyzer, SPECTROSCOUT is to numerous mining and geological applications, SpectroScoUt brings lab-class operated by a powerful user advantages such as Spectro’s advanced tUrboQUant unknown-sample analysis interface with full access to all analysis results and measured and optional customer-specific calibrations. spectra. Most importantly, it provides good spectral resolution and low limits of detection across a range of relevant elements - from heavy elements such as uranium to light elements such as sodium. MOBILE ANALYSIS SPECTROSCOUT is a portable lab. You can run the instrument with a 12 V DC power source and charge the internal batteries. coMPAct DEsIGN AccuRAcY Made for practical portability, the instrument contains SPECTROSCOUT provides a myriad of features in one small space: large sample highly precise measurements compartment, high-power X-ray tube, onboard proces-from trace to minor to major sor, and high-yield battery pack. Its footprint is ideal for concentrations of relevant drilling platforms and other areas where space is tight. elements. That kind of accuracy - exceptional for any portable elemental analyzer - enables it to reach remarkable performance levels.
