TerraSpec Halo Handheld Mineral Spectrometer

Fast and accurate mineral exploration

ASD Company is a professional manufacturer of near-infrared (NIR) spectrometers. After being acquired by Sibeiji Group, it merged into Panaco and recently launched a new generation product for mining and geological mineral analysis: Panaco Mineral Analyzer TerraSpec Halo.

TerraSpec HaloIt is a lighter and faster full band near-infrared handheld spectrometer that can be used for exploring the geological market.

No more worries about cables or bulky third-party devices! By simply pressing the trigger button, the instrument can quickly identify mineral features, greatly accelerating exploration efforts, improving efficiency, enhancing analysis and decision-making capabilities, and ultimately saving valuable time and costs for coal mine operators.

Put it in the backpack or on the truck

TerraSpec HaloDurable and sturdy, it can perform non-destructive contact measurements for ground and mineral geologists, and immediately display exploration results on the instrument. For non geologists, the operation of instruments is equally simple, whether in the field, during drilling procedures at work, or for rapid sampling and confirmation in mines.

Mineral spectroscopic analysis has never been so simple!

TerraSpec HaloIt is a full band near-infrared spectrometer that measures visible light and short wave infrared regions (350-2500 nm). The instrument is equipped with a vehicle mounted GPS, a recorder, and internal reference information for easy operation and data management. At the same time, it also has special functions: advanced mineral identification software that can quickly obtain data in the field, data processing software that is easy to operate in the laboratory, a literature library that can further improve instrument measurement accuracy and speed, and customized leather cases that are convenient for use in the field.

TerraSpec Halo handheld infrared mineral spectrometer can identify mineral ranges:

Almost all minerals have infrared absorption characteristics, but for equiaxed crystal systems and hydroxyl free minerals, the infrared characteristics are weak and difficult to identify. Such as quartz, pyrite, fluorite, sphalerite, galena, etc. The following is a table of mineral categories that Halo can automatically identify:
