ASD TerraSpec range
Portable and handheld VNIR analyzers for mineral exploration and ore analysis
- Enhanced optical configuration delivers precise spectral results with superior clarity and definition.
- Leading performance in SWIR 1 and SWIR 2 regions enables unmatched alteration mineral identification.
- Rugged steel-covered fiber optic cable ensures consistent spectral quality.
- No sample prep required for fast field scans.
The ASD TerraSpec 4 Hi-Res mineral analyzer is the standard for mineralogical analysis, trusted for fast, precise pathfinder mineral identification. It delivers enhanced performance in the SWIR 1 and 2 regions with 6 nm resolution, enabling quicker and more accurate data capture, particularly for darker mineral samples.
For exploration geologists, these upgrades mean faster data capture at exploration sites. The ASD TerraSpec 4 Hi-Res delivers improved data quality, enabling accurate assessment of low-concentration and low-reflectance minerals, such as serpentines and chlorites, previously challenging to measure. The ASD TerraSpec 4 Hi-Res mineral spectrometer can be used in various industry applications, including:
Oil Sands and Oil Shale Analysis
ASD instruments are used for onsite monitoring of kerogen and bitumen quantities
Petroleum Exploration
Improved deposit mineralogy, real-time strata correlation, hole stability monitoring, and dolomite porosity determination.
Mining Production and Mineral Processing
Evaluate and monitor mineral and ore properties to optimize mining processes.
Mineral exploration
Deposit mapping
Mineral assemblage identification
Drill cutting analysis
Core logging
Determining geochemical gradients
Clay species delineation
Faster vectoring to ore body
