Ergonomic Pro-Pack Backpack

The ASD Ergonomic Pro-Pack Backpack takes field portability to a higher level for FieldSpec, LabSpec, and TerraSpec customers requiring the ultimate in portability.

Fiber Optic Cables

Fiber optic cables are available in a variety of lengths and styles for different application requirements.

The goLab™ Mobile Work Station acts as a wheeled carrier for streamlined transport between locations, and then quickly unfolds to support all your sampling needs “right on the spot”. For use with ASD’s full-sized portable spectrometers and spectroradiometers.

Hi-Brite Contact Probe

For non-destructive contact measurements and characterization of mineral and ore samples.

Hi-Brite Muglight

Designed for analysis of raw materials requiring reflectance and absorbance measurements of minerals and some inorganic material applications requiring a higher intensity light.

High Intensity Contact Probe

For contact measurements of solid raw materials such as minerals, grains, other granular materials.

TerraSpec 4 Standard-Res Mineral Analyzer

Increase efficiency and optimize metal yield with high-throughput mineralogical analysis, and enjoy even greater data quality with the new TerraSpec 4 Standard-Res mining analyzer. Top mine operations around the world already trust ASD’s TerraSpec® line of mining instruments for their critical mineral analysis measurements.

Designed to enhance the productivity of mining site ore analysis, the tough and portable TerraSpec 4 Standard-Res mineral analyzer, with 10 nm resolution, provides high-throughput mineralogical analysis to help you optimize ore processing, sorting and metal extraction.

This flexible, near-infrared spectrometer accurately measures a wide variety of geologic samples, including clays and rocks with darker mineral content, offering better visibility into the ore sorting, processing and extraction processes. The rugged TerraSpec mining analyzer transitions easily from the production lab to the field, where it can quickly and accurately analyze ore feeds and tailings.

Improved optics deliver more precise spectral data in a fraction of the time required by previous models.
High-throughput sample analysis (capable of analyzing more than 1,000 samples a day) means accurate measurements even in high-volume production environments.
Upgraded feature recognition helps you analyze darker rock samples and improve management of ore variability.
A 2x increase in performance for the SWIR 1/SWIR 2 regions leads to better alteration mineral analysis.

Designed to boost yield and reduce mineral processing costs in mining production environments, the TerraSpec 4 Standard-Res mining analyzer supplies critical mineralogical information more quickly than other technologies. For example, the TerraSpec spectrometer’s impressive spectral response produces high-quality spectra used to identify clay minerals such as kaolinite, dickite, smectite or montmorillinite in real time with no sample prep required.

The remarkably accurate spectral data requires less interpretation by lab technicians, providing for faster, more confident and more efficient ore processing.

The TerraSpec 4 Standard-Res mining analyzer is ideal for a range of mining production measurement applications, including heap leach optimization, ore sorting, agglomeration optimization, and floatation ore feed control.
