The discontinuation of the ASD Halo left a significant gap in the market — one that existing solutions couldn’t fill. In response, SciAps has developed a new handheld Vis-NIR analyzer designed to meet this critical need. Compact, powerful, and built with cutting-edge technology, the reveNIR analyzer ensures you have the precision and portability you need for accurate analysis in the field.

• Spectral range – 350 to 2500 nm.
• A basic mineral spectral library of 250 important exploration minerals is included to get started immediately.
• Capability for user spectral additions and subtractions and converting publicly available USGS SpecLib 7a downloads from the internet.
• Real time Spectral Scalars calculations of Al-OH, ISM (Illite Spectral Maturity), Mg-OH, and Fe3t which indicate crystallinity, composition and/or geothermal conditions that serve as additional vectors to potential mineralization.

Lightweight and compact, the SciAps reveNIR handheld analyzer is optimized for use in challenging terrains. Under 4.5 lbs with the battery, the reveNIR is 2 lbs lighter and 50% smaller than ASD Halo. From mountainous areas to remote mines accessible only by helicopter or small plane, the reveNIR’s design ensures ease of transport and use.

Versatility

Perfect for reconnaissance, core logging, rock chip analysis, and expanding mapping areas. The SciAps reveNIR allows users to analyze outcrops, measure various positions, and assess the mineralogy of geological formations effortlessly.

The SciAps reveNIR detects key minerals like Epidote, Calcite, Chlorite, Kaolinite, Halloysite, Montmorillonite, Muscovite, Illite, Smectites, Dickite, Hematite, Goethite, Rectorite, and Rare Earth Oxides, among others. These are essential for vectoring in on ore bodies and guiding drill operations.

With real-time mineral spectra analysis, the SciAps reveNIR eliminates the need for lab delays, allowing geologists to adjust their exploration strategies instantly.

Analyze surface samples, dig around outcroppings, and assess rock formations in areas without easy access. The SciAps reveNIR provides critical insights to determine if further exploration is worthwhile.

Identify alteration minerals and pathfinder minerals in drill core samples to direct drilling operations effectively and maximize resource extraction.

Expand the understanding of geological formations by measuring multiple positions on outcrops and assessing mineralogical changes across the landscape.
