Exploration programs generate thousands of samples. Shipping everything to a lab is slow and expensive.
Portable XRF enables real-time screening of cores, soils, and bagged samples. Teams map pathfinder elements, prioritize high-grade zones, and reduce lab load.
Specelex Max and Ultra cover 12–92 elements with fast SDD performance. GPS and camera tagging tie each result to location and sample photos for GIS integration.
Use portable XRF for screening — confirm critical samples with lab assays.
