SciAps reveNIR analyser – is a cutting-edge handheld visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR) spectrometer designed for precise, real-time mineralogical analysis in the field. Ideal for geologists, exploration teams, and mining professionals, the reveNIR brings advanced spectral analysis directly to remote and rugged sites, enabling faster decision-making, improved exploration efficiency, and immediate insights into geological formations without the delays of laboratory testing.
Key Features
- Advanced Reflectance Spectral Analysis — Measures reflectance spectra across a broad range to predict mineral composition directly in the field.
- Wide Spectral Range: Operates from 350 to 2500 nm, capturing both visible and near-IR bands for comprehensive detection of mineralogical features.
- Portable & Field-Ready Design — Lightweight and compact (under ~4.5 lbs with battery) for easy transport to remote terrains, substantially smaller than legacy systems.
- Large Touchscreen Display — Integrated 3.5″ colour touchscreen for clear visualization of spectra, results, and interface menus.
- Included Mineral Libraries — Comes pre-loaded with a comprehensive spectral library of key exploration minerals, with support for custom and user-added libraries.
- Real-Time Spectral Scalars — Calculates spectral indicators such as Al-OH, ISM, Mg-OH and Fe3t, offering additional vectoring insights into alteration and geothermal conditions.
- Rugged IP54 Protection — Designed for dependable use in dusty and wet field environments.
- Wireless Connectivity — On-board Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS support for data transfer, location tagging, and integration with external workflows.
- Battery-Powered & Long Life — Rechargeable Li-ion battery provides hours of continuous operation for extended field campaigns.
- Cloud & PC Data Integration — Results can be stored on the device, downloaded to a PC, or synced to cloud platforms for further analysis and reporting.
