	Revolutionary Vanta analyzers give you the same accurate result every time from your first test to your hundredth test. The Vanta Series’ proprietary Axon^™ technology uses ultra-low-noise electronics enabling higher X-ray counts per second for fast, accurate, and repeatable results. Axon technology coupled with a new quad-core processor make Vanta analyzers remarkably responsive, pushing the limits of performance so you get the best results in the least amount of time. Axon technology provides remarkable test-to-test and instrument-to-instrument repeatability, so your first test is the same as your last test no matter what instrument you may use. Axon technology also provides ultra-low limits of detection (LOD).
