XRF Mineral Analyzer solutions by VRAY offer unparalleled precision and versatility for geological, mining, and environmental analysis. Our lineup caters to diverse needs, from rigorous field exploration to advanced laboratory research, built on 17 years of dedicated manufacturing expertise.
Leading our high-precision offerings is the VR-S7, an all-in-one desktop analyzer engineered for ultimate accuracy. Boasting an exceptional 0.01% accuracy for 9999 gold (reflecting its superior capability for trace elements), it features a high-sensitivity SDD detector and a precise ϕ1.5mm collimator. Powered by a 50W beryllium window X-ray tube and integrated with an i5 Windows 11 PC on an 11.6" touchscreen, the VR-S7 delivers rapid 30-second tests across a broad K(19)~U(92) element range for solid, liquid, or powder samples in demanding lab environments.
For dynamic field-based analysis without compromising accuracy, VRAY offers the VR-M5 and VR-H5 portable XRF Mineral Analyzers. The VR-M5 is a robust portable unit (4.1Kg) providing 0.05% accuracy with its Si-Pin detector and a 5.7" retractable touchscreen, ideal for versatile on-site material verification. The VR-H5 is our lightest handheld solution (1.6Kg), delivering impressive 0.03% accuracy with its Si-Pin detector and up to 8 hours of battery life, perfect for rapid mineral identification directly at exploration sites or mines. Both portable models excel with solid, liquid, or powder samples in 30 seconds.
Across all models, VRAY integrates core technologies like efficient T-shaped radiators for "no cooling wait" performance, ensuring consistent operation. Our extensive experience allows for flexible hardware (e.g., adjustable X-ray tube targets, collimator size) and software customization (analysis modes, calibration algorithms, multi-language interfaces), providing optimized tools for precise mineral exploration, quality control, and compliance.

Ensuring proper operation and adherence to safety guidelines is crucial for the accuracy, longevity, and safe use of your XRF Mineral Analyzer.
1. Power On & Software Launch: Turn on your XRF Mineral Analyzer, then launch its dedicated analytical software on the integrated or connected computer.
2. Instrument Preheating: Allow the instrument to preheat for approximately 10 minutes. This ensures the X-ray tube and detector stabilize, leading to more accurate and repeatable readings.
3. Calibration: Place the designated calibration sample (e.g., standard reference material) in the detection area. Follow the software prompts to perform accurate instrument calibration before analyzing unknown mineral samples.
4. Sample Placement: Carefully position your mineral sample (which can be in solid, liquid, or powder form) in the detection area according to the analyzer's manual and design. Ensure it's stable and covers the test window if applicable.
5. Close Cover & Start Test: Securely close the machine cover or protective door, ensuring all safety interlocks are engaged. Once confirmed, press the "start" button within the software to initiate the analysis.
6. Await Results & Report Management: Wait for the analysis results. Preliminary data typically appears in 3 seconds, with the complete analysis result available in approximately 30 seconds. After completion, you can print (e.g., A4 or thermal printer) or save the detailed report directly.
1. Safety Door Protocol: Always ensure the protective door or chamber cover is tightly closed and safety interlocks are engaged before and during any test. Never attempt to bypass these safety features, as this is critical to prevent X-ray leakage and radiation exposure.
2. Power Management: Avoid frequent power cycling (turning on/off rapidly) or forcibly cutting off power to the analyzer. Such actions can lead to severe damage to sensitive internal components like the X-ray tube, high-voltage module, and mainboard. Always use a voltage stabilizer or UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to ensure stable power supply.
3. Environmental Control: Operate the XRF Mineral Analyzer in a controlled environment. Avoid high humidity (>70% non-condensing), excessive dust, or extreme temperatures outside the specified operating range (e.g., 10-35°C for desktop, -20-50°C for portable models). These conditions can cause overheating, dampness, or short-circuits.
4. No Unauthorized Modifications: Do not attempt to modify the analyzer's software, hardware, or internal calibration parameters privately. Unauthorized changes can lead to data distortion, component damage, and will void your warranty. Only qualified VRAY technicians should perform internal adjustments.
5. Detector Protection: Exercise extreme care with the detector window. Never touch it with fingers, sharp objects, or abrasive materials, as this can severely damage the thin detector film, leading to costly repairs and inaccurate readings.
6. Stable Testing Environment: Ensure the sample remains perfectly stationary and the chamber door remains closed throughout the test duration. Moving the sample or opening the door mid-test can result in test failure, inaccurate data, and potential X-ray exposure.
7. Regular Cleaning: Daily, gently wipe the analyzer's outer shell with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to prevent dust accumulation. Before each use, inspect and clean the test window for any foreign objects or contamination to ensure clear and accurate readings.
8. Fan & Vent Maintenance: Regularly clean the analyzer's cooling fans and vents to prevent blockages from dust or debris, which can lead to overheating and affect instrument performance and lifespan.
9. Avoid Overload: Prevent prolonged continuous high-load use. Allow for regular rest periods and ensure the cooling system functions correctly to dissipate heat, extending the machine's lifespan and maintaining optimal performance.
10. Trained Personnel Only: Only properly trained and authorized personnel should operate the XRF Mineral Analyzer. Always strictly follow the manufacturer's user manual and safety guidelines to ensure safe and effective use.
