Handheld XRF rental for soil contamination and environmental testing.
Optional complete setup with soil foot and workstation for improved accuracy and repeatability.

Handheld XRF Rental for Soil Contamination & Environmental Testing

The Evident Vanta Max is a high-performance handheld XRF analyzer designed for soil contamination screening and environmental testing applications. This rental includes soils mode optimized for analysis of heavy metals in soil, sediment, and environmental samples.

The analysis package includes the 8 RCRA metals and 11 of the 12 EPA priority pollutant metals (excluding beryllium), making it a powerful tool for environmental screening, site assessments, and regulatory work.

This rental is ideal for environmental consultants, remediation contractors, and field technicians who need fast, nondestructive analysis in the field or controlled environments.

Soils Mode for Environmental Testing

The soils mode uses Compton normalization to provide stable and repeatable results when analyzing soil and environmental samples.

This mode is well suited for:

• Soil contamination screening
• Site investigations and field assessments
• Sediment and environmental sample analysis
• Prepared or in-situ soil testing

Elemental Coverage (Soils Mode – Compton Normalization)

The Vanta Max soils mode provides broad elemental coverage for environmental and contamination screening, including:

• Ag, As, Ba, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, K, La, Mn, Mo, Nb, Nd, Ni, P, Pb, Pr, Rb, S, Sb, Se, Sn, Sr, Ta, Th, Ti, U, V, W, Y, Zn, Zr

RCRA Metals & EPA Priority Pollutants

This configuration supports screening for key regulated elements, including:

RCRA Metals (8):
As, Ba, Cd, Cr, Pb, Hg, Se, Ag

EPA Priority Pollutant Metals (11 of 12):
Ag, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Zn (Beryllium not included)

Two Rental Configurations

Handheld Analyzer Only

Ideal for:

• Rapid field screening
• In-situ soil testing
• Preliminary site assessments
• Mobile environmental work

Complete Soil Testing Setup (Soil Foot + Workstation)

Recommended for:

• Improved surface contact during soil testing
• Consistent and repeatable measurements
• Longer test times with hands-free operation
• Field and lab-based environmental jobs

This configuration provides a more controlled and reliable approach to soil contamination testing.

Soil Foot for Field Testing

The soil foot attachment improves contact between the analyzer and the soil surface during in-situ testing.

This helps:

• Reduce variability from uneven surfaces
• Improve measurement consistency
• Minimize ambient light interference
• Create a more stable testing interface

The soil foot is especially useful for field investigations and site assessments.

Workstation for Controlled Testing

The workstation enables closed-beam testing and stable positioning of samples for repeatable analysis.

A workstation provides:

• Hands-free operation
• Improved safety for longer test times
• Consistent positioning
• Better repeatability for prepared samples

• Fast screening for regulated heavy metals
• Nondestructive analysis with no chemical reagents
• Supports RCRA and EPA priority pollutant screening
• Optimized soils mode for environmental samples
• Optional complete setup for improved consistency and control

Common Applications

• Soil contamination screening
• Environmental site assessments
• Brownfield and remediation projects
• Sediment analysis
• Field-based environmental investigations
• Regulatory screening work

Who This Rental Is For

• Environmental consultants
• Remediation contractors
• Engineering firms
• Government and regulatory agencies
• Field technicians and inspectors
