Handle It with Confidence: The New Vanta Element™ XRF Analyzer

External Article • January 27, 2025

Whether you specialize in scrap sorting, metal manufacturing, or precious metal analysis, an XRF analyzer is one of the most essential aspects of your day-to-day success. A faulty or damaged analyzer, inaccurate readouts, hand fatigue—they can all lead to downtime, mix-ups, and rework, which hinder your bottom line. You can’t afford to be anything but fully confident in the XRF analyzer in your hand.


Efficient, affordable, and built to perform for years to come, our new Vanta Element handheld XRF analyzer series offers exceptional ergonomics for easy handling; accurate analysis up to two times faster than previous models; and a user-friendly interface perfect for operators of all experience levels.


More Efficient and Cost-Effective


Our new Vanta Element series delivers maximum value with affordable pricing and versatile configurations suited to your testing and budget needs. Fast, easy analysis makes Vanta Element analyzers ideally suited for both new and experienced operators, increasing overall efficiency and further enhancing your analyzer’s value.


Vanta Element and Vanta Element-S Models


Designed for fast, basic elemental analysis and alloy ID, our Vanta Element model includes a silicon drift detector (SDD) and delivers powerful yet affordable XRF testing. Our Vanta Element-S model adds the detection of light elements including magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), sulfur (S), and phosphorus (P).

Get the Job Done with Speed and Precision


The new Vanta Element series brings exceptional accuracy and speed to alloy analysis. The analyzers streamline your processes with enhanced connectivity, a more intuitive interface, and more collaborative data management. Fast, precise alloy analyses are powered by silicon drift detection and the Vanta series’ trusted Axon Technology.


Both models feature fast grade ID and clear on-screen grade comparison to speed up alloy testing while delivering precise, reliable results. A more modern and intuitive interface means you can get more done in less time with a clearer, brighter display; workflow improvements; and a more fluid navigation system.

Convenient Collaboration


Vanta Element and Vanta Element-S analyzer users can easily review, share, and manage XRF results on a PC, tablet, or smartphone with a browser-based interface. This enables numerous connectivity and data management options and helps save even more time.


Work Efficiently in Any Environment


The new Vanta Element series is IP rated for protection against dust and moisture, temperature-rated, and drop-tested against falls to reduce the need for costly repairs. Both the Vanta Element and the Vanta Element-S models are backed by a comprehensive three-year warranty that delivers peace of mind and provides a maximized return on investment.


Productivity That Moves with You


As soon as a new Vanta Element analyzer is in your hands, the difference is clear—both models feature an updated ergonomically balanced handle, making the instrument feel lighter and more comfortable. This equals less strain on hands and more productivity. A nonslip rubber grip makes the analyzer even easier to handle, and a smaller transport case and optional holster accessory add to the increased ease of movement.


Fast Access to Your Most Important Files


The new Vanta Element series provides faster access to USB and SD card storage with a door on top of the analyzer that is easy to snap open and close and requires no tools.


Optimized for the Way You Work


A variety of configuration options helps ensure that your Vanta Element analyzer is suited to your needs. Two X-ray tubes and detectors are available to match application requests, and a range of calibrations help you optimize your analyzer as application needs evolve. A configurable element suite enables a fully customized data display, and enhanced application support provides the option to add custom analytical capabilities.


Count on Accurate, Repeatable Results


Designed with no compromise in performance or durability, Evident’s new Vanta Element handheld XRF analyzer series provides elemental analysis for fast alloy grade identification and sorting in two cost-effective models: the Vanta Element analyzer for basic alloy ID and the Vanta Element-S analyzer for alloy ID with light element detection.

The speed of our new Vanta Element analyzers is combined with our proven Axon Technology for accurate, repeatable results, and both models are built tough for harsh environments and backed by a three-year warranty for low cost of ownership. Convenient data management tools and optional wireless connectivity help future-proof your analyzer for Industry 4.0.
